I like my stuff 'cause I only ever end up with tracks that I really, really like. It always appeals to me.

I like to make great albums.

I always love making albums. I'm passionate about it and it's something that's healthy for the soul and spirit.

Those albums are so important to me because, for the first time, I was making my own music, paying for it, finding strengths in it, and going through the process of finding the right music for the record.

I always say this about my music, and music in general: Music is like a time capsule. Each album reflects what I'm going through or what's going on in my life at that moment.

My main objective with every album is to capture a moment in time, which usually makes the whole process very relaxing. I only discover in retrospect when looking back at the songs how my life is going!

I don't tend to have a favorite album; I tend to have favorite tracks. There are flaws in every album that spoil it for me.

I often find myself listening to a record because a lot of people or magazines have told me it's good and I'm supposed to like it, and I try to stay in touch with what's happening and I'm also a fan of music. I find myself trying to like something that I really don't think is that great.

You know, albums are a funny thing. They're not like an intellectual decision. It's a collection of your kind of musings.

An album is such a personal thing. It's something I always wanted to do. It's me doing me, singing as me.
