It always helps me connect with characters, to think about what music they respond to.

When I play music, I realize that it filters emotions. I believe that peoples' voices are expressed in their emotions, and I try to do the same with my music.

Think how different it is to experience a word than a sound. When you're hearing a singer, you're controlled by the words, because you understand the language, you know what they're talking about, and you're forced to think about what they're talking about. But when you're hearing that same thing without a word, you're free to wander.

I guess I'm attracted to people who are singing about love or life, and they have a particular passion that I can connect with.

I've always had fun with music, but I prefer to listen to it rather than sing.

I grew up listening to a lot of soul music, which has probably informed the way that I sing on my tracks.

I feel a connection to many songs that I won't sing because I don't think they are right for me! There is something in my gut that immediately responds. There's no science to it.

In music, you feel a connection to the voice and think about the person behind it. In art that's secondary.

I always choose songs that I have an emotional connection to, and I often feel myself getting very emotional when I sing.
