I hope that what it comes down to at the end of the day is that people believe that I believe what I'm singing. It comes down to being believable. You don't have to be likeable; generally, though, I think I am.

Anything I sing is supposed to be genuine. It's not supposed to be make-believe or I'm making something for the crowd to jump or to hold up their hands.

Even if you can't relate to what I'm singing, I hope you can believe in it and see it as something that it is real.

I believe in singing.

I sing the songs that people need to hear.

The way I teach people to sing... I have them talk the lyric out until it sounds like something they really believe, like an actor with a monologue.

I do actually sing; I love to sing.

What I say is from my heart. You must be sincere. So when I sing a song, people are supposed to feel it.

Most of all, I like to sing my heart out to lyrics that really speak to people.

You know, I think you have to sound right singing whatever it is that you sing.
