People love their favorite records. And I aspire to make a record someone might be able to love in that way.

Some amazing records have this power to leave you with inspiration; you're left with the urge to write something. And some records are totally overwhelming, because they are so good, they burn the bridges behind them.

I don't go there much. You're thrilled that people would recognize what you're doing in such a grand kind of way. But, just like you don't know if anybody's really going to like what you're doing when you put a record out or if anybody's going to pay attention to it, you can't really go there.

I still hold on to the idea that a record can really change the way I feel.

It's a pleasure playing your big hit records and it's a real joy to see the audience.

I felt like I was making a record under the radar, and that is my favorite way to do anything.

I'm very happy with this new record. It's dealing with different aspects of love-it's me making a statement about people doing something with their lives. It is about caring for others.

I applaud the effort it takes to put a record together.

Record-breaking is not getting boring. I am definitely happy with that.

I'll be writing records until I'm dead, whether people like it or not!
