I'm a very emotional person, a person of real extremes, and that's often destructive both to myself and others.

There is a time for silence. There is a time for waiting you turn. But if you know how you feel and you so clearly know what you need to say you'll know it. I don't think you should wait. I think you should speak now.

From a broken relationship I was in. I could not understand what went wrong and I had to explain to myself, and I did it through this song. The next day I thought, Jesus, that's beautiful. I didn't recognize it at the time, it was just pouring out of me.

Singing, it's like it's like loving somebody, it's a supreme emotional and physical experience.

It is painful to relive things that have caused emotional crises or whatever and find ways to express that musically.

Piano playing is a dying art. I love the fact that I can be one guy with one instrument evoking an emotional and musical experience.
