Chart numbers can be deceiving. An album doesn't have to sell that much these days to show up really high on the charts.

I've heard some people say that I'm selling out, but I'm not. If I hadn't done 'Black Radio', and just kept on doing just piano trio stuff, I wouldn't be honest with myself; I'd be doing it to please other people. That would be selling out.

I'm competitive, so I don't like to feel marginalized by the people who sell a lot of records.

I actually don't think that I'm gonna sell a lot of records.

I don't care about the charts; I just want to make great music that I enjoy performing on stage and I'm proud of.

I enjoy selling my music. I don't enjoy selling myself.

It would be ridiculous to say I don't want to sell records, but I trust my taste.

No one told me I had to make something that would sell, but I personally want everyone to like my music.

I don't have to compete in the charts. I can just be myself as a musician, a songwriter and play with the musicians that I really love.
