I didn't want my last chapter to be the guy who sits at the piano and sings love songs.

Doing my own album provided me the opportunity to say whatever I wanted.

In the past, there has always been so much pressure about carrying a show and promoting a record.

I fell off stage and bruised some ribs. The worst part was that the audience didn't realize I was gone.

I don't think it is pressure but I am aware sometimes, especially on this new album, that people were going to really pay attention.

So it was just a case of getting a bunch of songs that I had been writing for years but hadn't recorded together, and the result was My Own Best Enemy.

When things are too easy I lose interest in them so I find ways to complicate them to get myself interested.
