I don't disrespect the audience. I only sing very well-written, intelligent songs.

I've taken stuff from people, too. You know though, if you steal from one person, you're just a thief. But if you steal from everyone, that's research.

I have a very strong passion to sing and paint. I'm really a student.

I think one of the reasons I'm popular again is because I'm wearing a tie. You have to be different.

I have been very fortunate to have been able to make a living from what I love to do best - performing and singing for people.

I think there's an opportunity for a couple of them for sure, maybe more depending upon the situation, but it's too early to say which ones. It's a pretty competitive fight. And that doesn't mean the older guys are just going to walk into spots. I remind them all the time - you got to earn everything you get. And that's what made our team good last year, is guys really competed for opportunities and understood their roles.

I still insist that American performers are the best performers in the world.
