I think Ive got a pretty good sense of humor.

I see men come and go, but there'll be one who'll collect my soul.

I long ago learned that you can't expect people to interpret the songs in the way they had meant for you, as the writer.

I'm probably much more influenced by film-makers and painters than I am by other songwriters or poets.

I'm always writing, the past 10 years. A lot has changed, in that it's something I do every day.

Maybe you're a singer or not, but what taps into the soul leads to the heart, and that's really what I came away with, with the starting point for the record being that I could speak as a human being and feel things very deeply.

I decide immediately if I like a person and if I do, then I'm myself, and if I don't, then I give nothing.
