I'm not ready to retire, and I think I have some of the best music of my life coming up.

I think I've grown a lot in the last few years, and I needed to express myself as an artist on this. It wasn't necessarily about going in and making an album chocked full of hit singles... there were a lot of things I did out of the joy and the want to do it.

With age comes wisdom and confidence, and I don't feel like I'm seeking approval as much as I used to from other people.

Every picture's painted differently, every one has got a vision in their mind. That fills the heart with answers, and the missing piece that we hope to find.

That's a song about reaching deep inside yourself where you can completely be who you are.

It's nice to be able to engage with this fan base that I've worked to build, brick by brick.

I want to keep people engaged and I want them to feel connected to what I'm doing.
