I don't feel connected to the whole vision of the record in the same way-it's got all these characters. The point of view of "Love Earth" and the point of view of "Break the Chain" are so different. It's not the same thing, but it is the same thing.

People, whether they know it or not, like their blues singers miserable. They like their blues singers to die afterwards.

In my songs, I try to look through someone else's eyes, and I want to give the audience a feeling more than a message.

Music is the love of my life. It's a total escape from reality. Music transports you to another place, someplace unexpected and meaningful.

I think the best duets are those where there's a dialogue back and forth, and then the two singers go into a thing together.

My songs are like Bic razors. For fun, for modern consumption. You listen to it, like it, discard it, then on to the next. Disposable pop.
