I'm Never Satisfied With What I Do.

I Went Back And Listened To The First Three Albums I Made And Tried To Figure Out What Was Special About Them, Why People Keep Going Back To Them. I Think It Was Because I Didn't Know What I Was Doing. I Had No Idea If They Were Going To Play It On The Radio Or Anything. All I Did Was Write Songs, So That's What I Got Back To.

For Me Able To Do The Records I Want To Do And Not Have To Worry About This Producer Or That Producer Or That Trend, I'm Not Really Interested In That.

I Used To Play Pianos In Bars. You Know In Hotels, You'd See Guys Playing Piano With A Snifter? That Was Me, With A Painted-on Mustache. I Was About 15.

I Am A Writer - That Is What I Am Before Being A Performer Or Musician. I Love Waking Up In The Morning And Then Going To Sleep That Night With Something That Did Not Exist.

I Was Probably Six Years Old When I First Sang Before An Audience.
