Whatever success I've had so far has been assimilated into my body and mind.

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

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.

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

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

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.

I've always accepted some kind of deity, especially as a songwriter.
