I never had any big dreams about doing something on a huge scale.

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me, there's a truth in your heart that says you'll never leave me, and the touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall.

I think that people respond to honesty in music, so I only choose songs that are the truth for me.

That's what I love. Not being interrupted, sitting in a car by myself and listening to music in the rain. There are so many great songs yet to sing

She takes your voice and leaves you howling at the moon.

I always try to read at night, because it gets me kind of tired.

Drugs don't have to be a part of that to me, so if somebody says - your music takes me to that sort of place - then I'm really psyched.

I just love what I do, and I'm a teacher more than anything.
