Love for money is my sin, any man calls, I'll let him in.

I think Ive got a pretty good sense of humor.

Ever since time began: What song is not about love? Whether it's about love from man to woman or parent to child, or grandmother to granddaughter... It just goes on and on. Or whether it's the love of one's country.

I also like a lot of silence, and when you're touring, it's constantly noise, all the time, you're surrounded with 15 or 20 people the entire time. I find that tough.

There's so much you can do with laying words on a bed of music. You can completely change their meaning with the type of music or the way they're sung.

Maybe I'm just purely lucky. If I've come up against obstacles I've always found another way around it.

I think it does surprise me a bit when people have a very fixed idea of what I'm like, based upon the work that I do, which is something that is very separate.
