Feel the rain on your skin, no one else can feel it for you.

People don't listen to one radio station. On iTunes you can mix different worlds and bring country and pop and folk and live music together with a mass audience. I could have sung 'Easy' in a country way but I just sang it how I sing. I think it's a really nice blend.

I love lamb shank. It's my favorite thing. You don't have it in America. It's a younger meat - it just falls off the bone - it's kind of like a roast. I really like blackened cod too.

I took temp jobs, recorded a demo in the evenings and eventually shopped a record deal. All I knew was that I wanted to write songs; thankfully, I also got to sing them.

Staring at the blank page before you, Open up the dirty window, Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find.

Live your life with arms wide open. Today is where your book begins. The rest is still unwritten.

The common denominator is a love of music.
