I think that you get the mood of a song stronger if you get it right that way. On the other hand, you put some songs out live and they don't catch flight. They just flop. It is hard to tell until they are out there.

People have the strength to overcome their bodies. Their beauty is in their minds.

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.

Surround yourself with brilliance.

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

You can blow out a candle, but you can't blow out a fire.

I hold the line, the line of strength that pulls me from the fear.
