I always feel the audience is my best teacher.

I plan to do my next two albums with Lady Gaga . She is quite a talent.

I try to tell the story about the song with the believability that I've lived it myself and I understand what it's all about.

I'm not the type of person who likes to look backwards. I've always felt compelled to move forward and I've never been one to dwell in the past. All the people I've met, all the places I've been, and all the things that I've done have simply been part of who I am.

I consider myself a method singer, not a method actor. I applied method acting to singing.

Someday, when I'm awfully low, and the world is cold, I will feel a glow just thinking of you, and the way you look tonight.

Sometimes the teacher would tell me that if you're singing a love song and you just don't feel it with a person or something you've experienced, just think of a dog or cat that you love.
