Worse than bad reviews is to be ignored.

I may have a little bit of a talent for music, but I've learnt to tap into my own self when I write. When I put the drill bit inside my heart, sometimes I come up with something light and frothy, sometimes with something deep and painful, but it's great to connect with the audience.

My music is in young people's lives because it's so much a part of their parents' lives.

I couldn't resist. I went over and joined in, and we just sang the song together, ... They had no idea that I had written it, or who I was. I was just some weird guy who wanted to join in on the singing.

Hands, touching hands, reaching out, touching me, touching you.

Love never doubts or suffers or cries. Love shows no fear, love tells no lies.

There's a mystery to writing, and you don't really know where most of it comes from.
