I've been lucky, because people have done such great versions of my songs, and I've worked with the best singers ever, and I'm lucky that way.

I had no idea that I could sustain a career as an artist. But, I loved music and wanted to be in the music business.

I prefer career artists that have spent time honing their craft, as opposed to, 'I won a karaoke contest on a reality show and now I have a record.' That's such a drag. The music that comes out of it is so poor.

I think I've had the longest career of strength, focus, and still being able to sell records. I think I'm that guy. I'm still blessed with the opportunity to make music and pass out a message like, 'Life is good,' to the world.

Music has always been a large part of my life, and I'm very fortunate to be able to start a career doing something I love.

Amazingly, I've been sort of an anomaly in the music industry. I feel like I've been able to exist as kind of a throwback artist.

I had no idea that I was ever getting into music. I did not prepare for a music career, and here I've found, out of pure luck, that I did have, not only a talent and an ear, but a passion for music. And I have it to this day.

There are a lot better musicians than me out there that just haven't had the luck to fall into everything like I have.

A lot of people considered my career as an artist largely over. Two albums got shelved. But I've made music since I was a little kid, and for the majority of that time, I wasn't paid for it. So I will always be making it.
