I thought love was more or less a giving thing. Seems the more I gave, the less I got.

Fencing made me feel for the first time like a winner.

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.

I guess I haven't gotten over being lost, a wandering gypsy.

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.

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.

You have to go out there and give a piece of yourself -- your life, your soul. And you better give the audience everything you can -- physically, emotionally, musically. Then maybe they'll accept you and give you a standing ovation at the end.
