It's very hard to come across as a passionate human being in print. People can't hear the inflections in your voice.

I like my voice, but I can't deliver as much as I wish I could.

Find what you're best at and exaggerate it.

I don't think I approach my songs differently from other artists. You get a big picture of it, and you imagine the song and hear and feel it, and that big picture is like a snapshot, and it comes to you as fast as it takes to click a camera.

The level of achievement that we have at anything, is a reflection, of how well, we were able to focus on it. Because the only thing that's holding you back, is the way you're thinking.

Acting, at least for me, is very unreal, and when I'm doing it, I actually feel embarrassed.

The classical guitar has a dynamic to it unlike a regular acoustic guitar or an electric guitar. You know, there's times when you should play and there's times when you gotta hold back. It's an extremely dynamic instrument.
