“I'm a word person. I'm a book person. I'm a writer who sings.”

“I always felt that I had a mission to perform the great songs. There are so many of them, and so many of them are unknown.”

“For me, the lyrics are paramount. A great lyric can make a mediocre melody unforgettable.”

“The song is the star. I'm just the messenger.”

“I've always been drawn to the bittersweet, the melancholy.”

“I'm not an impersonator. I'm a singer who's learned a lot from other singers.”

“You have to be a bit of an actor to be a singer.”

“My life has been dedicated to my work, which is my passion.”
