As a songwriter there's nothing more exciting than the unknown, the new and different.

Songs are life in 80 words or less.

I'm trying to find the truth in myself. To play somebody else doesn't interest me. It's not the focus of my life. I can get through most scenes and do the acting part of it, and at best, I'm going to be mediocre.

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

When I first started, I worked with three chords in every bar, but I found that tied me down - I'm not a chord-change writer, I'm a songwriter.

Home's the most excellent place of all.

I like having a woman. I like having someone to come home to, to make all of the hard work feel worth it. I need someone with me. And I want someone.
