Every night I try to look at the audience and treat every audience differently. It's almost like it's a single entity or a person. I always try to treat it like a conversation and allow it to happen naturally in the same way that you would engage in conversation.

I think with each record, I don't know ... they're like burdens.

The songs that give you the most trouble become your best songs.

It sometimes takes 6 months or more after you've written and recorded it before you can start to enjoy the experience of singing the song.

I think that in school I was really shy. And even today when people meet me they are shock to see just how not-crazy I am.

You go through that stage where you're coming up with the concept, ideas and all that you need to make a record. It always feels like hard labor.
