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.

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.

I think playing music is one of my great joys in life.

Songwriting is something I really need to work on. I don't have very many songs but I really love it. I would love to be a great song writer some day.

I don't want to be the next big anything. I just want to play for people and that's it.

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.

Success and the art of making music are two different things for me.
