I get good vibes from people. There is a thread of DNA that runs from the days that I was a young teenager to these days. It feels good to go back there.

Then come and as we lay, beside this sleepy glade, there I will sing to you my Longfellow serenade.

I am, I said to no one there and no one heard at all, not even a chair.

You're alive, you might as well be glad.

Very often the music comes first.

I do have a large audience overseas, and I want to continue to be an international artist.

I suppose that being moved to write a song is more applicable to me, I have to be moved, I have to have a reason to write a particular song.
