The world has changed a lot since I started making records.I used to go into a studio and there were songs there, chosen for me to see if I liked them. I wasn't encouraged to write.

I have my songs ready in my head, gather the guys, play it and then let them go with it. [The music] finds its way, we do what the music says to do......the song is the producer.

I can't stand too long of a record.

It's time for artists to take their music back.

So it's the greatest compliment in the world when people want to hear you sing. That means it feels good to them, so I keep doing it.

I feel like I've kind of gotten to a peaceful place in my heart.
