I like the simple 'I love your work' letters. You never get sick of people's appreciation. They think they're troubling you, but it's lovely people associate my songs with certain moments in their lives.

When I started studying for the arias it was like going into training for a heavyweight title fight

I have to be happy in the here and now because every time you start focusing on your legacy you're really setting yourself up for disappointment.

I'm proud of my mentors. Ray Charles is the strongest influence on me as a singer

Considering the amount of information we're bombarded by, it's amazing if a song can transcend time.

A 'passing' test doesn't mean 'no problem.' It means no problem *observed*. This time. With these inputs. So far. On my machine.

Yes!!! I booked a commercial!!!
