Well, I loved singing in the chorus, and there was some connection for me between gospel and choral music.

I came back to performing with a different attitude about performing and myself. I wasn't expecting perfection any more, just hoping for an occasional inspiration.

I had always sung in my dad's shop. I worked there after school, and I'd be singing along with the top-40 records of the day.

I communicate with fans on Twitter. I enjoy the ability to impulsively write something and ship it out to the fans and fellow tweeters out there.

Of all the songs that I've written since I was 15 or 16, every song is different every song is special, it happens in a different way and I like that.

It's very difficult for me to say 'I love you' but to sing 'I love you' for me is easier.

I Am... I Said is a very complicated song and its complicated probably because my feelings were very complicated when I wrote it.
