I would love to make a real jazz album someday because I never have. But that's something I'm not in a rush to do.

God bless Ray Charles. It was such an honor to meet him and sing with him and actually just to watch him sing from just two feet away.

For me, there's a fine line between being a cheeseball and being a good performer.

I like songs with a lot of heart and feeling and subtlety.

Songs are kind of alive, I think; once you finish writing them, that doesn't mean that that's it for the song. It can have its own little life, I think.

It's not like once you achieve success, you're done, you know. It's like, still enjoy doing what you're doing, that's the key for me.

I feel like all the songs are little scenes, different angles, of the feelings that come around something ending.
