I like a lot of soul, but I also put a lot of folk into what I do.

I had a lovely time growing up.

Listening to a lot of guitar rock and roll music and feeling quite eccentric because everyone expected me to learn and develop like R&B. This kind of made me feel a little bit better, because I realized it was all the same, you know. There's no difference. It's just music.

My idea of home is not necessarily a place.

The worst thing for a singer/songwriter is to run out of songs.

I love making music so its important for me to keep doing that even if the schedule is busy.

The main thing in making your own music is that it's an expression of someone's personality and being. That's what people want to hear, and you can't really teach that - that's just something that comes out. Teaching just hones that.
