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.

What I really search for is something that I really love hearing, something that's my own private game: If I find a song I really like, I try to do a definitive version.

That song helped make me a world citizen. It allowed me to live, work and sing in any city on the globe. It changed my whole life.

I think if you have a passion for what you do then there are no limitations on how long or how much you can accomplish.

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

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