• When I came round I felt very odd, It was like I had headphones on and I was listening to music. It didn’t go away. I wasn’t sleeping at night. It was as though my mind had become a musical tornado, and whatever came in front of me got whirled into it.

• I'm nicer than I am. Like most people I have a dark side, but because of roles I played early on people tend not to guess that.

• That life keeps teaching me how little I actually know. I used to think I was going to die wise, and now the one wisdom I have is I know very little.

• I thought they were saying this because they felt my music wasn’t good enough, and I needed to write with other people to make it better. Being open to everything and always saying yes, It was very frustrating for me because I have a really strong work ethic. I’ve never missed a performance in my life, so I’m sure not going to miss a co-writing session.

• If people call me a songwriter, I am honored to be called that. I’m keenly aware that I’m lucky to get to work with these writers.

• To be honest, when you have four kids and one grandchild, and one on the way, and a marriage that you are very blessed to have, I don’t want to work all the time.
