I'm in total control. I write the songs, decide what to sing and how to sing. I even control the recording process. But, with a film, there is no control at all.

I like to be in control of things.

On the first album I was saying, that's just one part of me. And then I was thinking, well, am I going to hide the rest of me now just because I'm afraid of something? No. I'm just going to be myself.

I wasn't a trained Mickey Mouse club performer. I played in jazz clubs and restaurants.

I feel like I've been lucky, because I don't feel like I've ever tried to be somebody I'm not. People might disagree.

I always try to do something different. I don't think I've made the same record over and over.

I don't want to be singing my diary.
