Oh. Yes. There. Is. A. Lot of pressure. As a solo singer. Absolutely.

People sometimes ask if I want to be a solo artist, but it just wouldn't be any fun being on your own.

The greatest benefit of being a solo performer is that it is seriously frightening, but at the same time very empowering. It's just you and the audience. All the weight is on you to deliver the songs.

I think that was the whole idea behind doing the solo record was to be able to do musically whatever I wanted to do.

I know how it feels to be a singer who wants to get discovered.

There are a lot of unseen elements to having a successful singing career.

It's like whether you're in a huge movie or you've just recorded an incredible album you've got to do the next thing, and that's part of being an artist.

It was never the goal to be a solo performer. It was just something that made the most sense at the time.

I don't know if I should say this, but I feel more like a singer than an artist.

I can't even imagine how it must be to be a solo artist playing with session musicians.
