Artists everywhere steal mercilessly all the time and I think this is healthy.

At the heart, it is world music that I do. It's all connections. Ultimately, we're all connected.

I think another thing is that we don't really want exclusivity. We accept that it is in the artist's interest to be on sale in every place where they sell music.

In your eyes I see the doorway to a thousand churches.

With no guilt and no shame, no sorrow or blame. Whatever it is, we are all the same.

With this darkness all around me, I like to be liked. In this emptiness and fear, I want to be wanted. Cause I love to be loved.

I think one of the things about writing in the studio is that the song hasn't matured, if you like, so quite often the vocals are early attempts. Whereas once you've taken it out on the road a bit, you learn more about a song.
