I don’t need to reiterate the fact that that everyone has a relationship with cancer. Whether it’s an individual-personal relationship — whether it’s with family or friends — we’ve all been touched by cancer.

I am learning. I'm a slow learner. I repeat myself three times, relationship wise.

Love is the most important thing in life. If you don't have (a relationship), you're always looking for one.

A lot of people seem to get preoccupied with what I'm wearing as opposed to the music.

A song that sounds simple is just not that easy to write. One of the objectives of this record was to try and write melodies that continue to resonate...Everything that happens to you influences your writing...The writing process for me is pretty much always the same-it's a solitary experience...I have yet to write that one song that defines my career...Beck said he didn't believe in the theory of a song coming through you as if you were an open vessel. I agree with him to a certain extent.

I'm still the king of me.

If you'd like to reach me, leave me alone.
