Life is so brief and time is a thief when you're undecided.

All you did was wreck my bed and in the morning kick me in the head.

You can avoid the press if you really want to and I don't walk around with five security guards either because I think that just draws attention.

My musical taste has always been wide. I started out as a folky before I moved on to blues and soul.

I was a bit of a sleeper-inner.

What I do now is all my dad's fault, because he bought me a guitar as a boy, for no apparent reason. ... I wrote some of my best love songs ever when I was unhappy and my saddest love songs when I was very much in love. When I wrote 'You're in My Heart', which is an uplifting song, I had just broken up with-Now who had I broken up with?. ... Half the battle is selling music, not singing it. It's the image, not what you sing.

Everybody sung in my family.
