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

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

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.

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.

I don't feel I have to write deep and meaningful songs; they can be light and meaningless. It has to do with the place I am in my life, a really good place.

Songwriting is different from music, although I don't deny now that it would be nice to have a little more background in music theory.

Touch a man who can't walk up right, and that lame man, he's gonna fly.
