I don't think competition is good in music. What is good, is the desire and the ambition to create your best work.

Songs are about just being totally honest and putting those words to music.

I'm so used to it, I think I'd feel very naked on stage without a piano.

What ever your doing right now, whatever your thinking, or worrying about. stop. take a huge breathe in, and just enjoy being alive.

I have always liked clothes and fashion. And really, being a British male, I am automatically the best dressed person in any room - especially in America.

I just never really thought of not being involved, because when I write the songs I take them to a certain place and by that point I kinda know what I want them to sound like.

I think music moves me more than other people. I can hear a song and it can bring me to tears. It doesn't happen the whole time, but I find songwriting - songs - very, very moving. I always have and I don't think it's fading.
