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.

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

My music is in young people's lives because it's so much a part of their parents' lives.

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

I've spent my whole life trying to find out who I am, so I could express that through the music.

Home's the most excellent place of all.

My voice is unadorned. I don't try for perfection. I try to be honest and truthful and soulful with the voice I have. If I make mistakes in notes, or there are cracks in notes, I don't fix them. That's the way it is.
