It's impossible to play a run with as much feeling as a single note. I've never been so much into runs as making single notes cry.

Two or three notes of music can instantly make you feel sad or tense or afraid or angry. To do that in words is much more difficult.

I'm not one of those people who can cry on cue. If I have to cry in an audition, I'm like, 'Okay, let me see what I can do.'

Notes are tricky in an audition, because I find, more often than not, my instinct is right.

I like to think that my music allows people that cathartic cry.

I always say if music can't make you cry, you're a hopeless case. I don't cry very much myself, but it's my job to make you cry.

Consolation of music is different from the one of words. It starts from the inside... It cries with you instead of telling you to stop crying.

All you have to do is play one note. But it needs to be the right note.

As long as I can sing and hit the notes, I want to do that.

I would rather be on stage playing to 25 people with a band I love and the music I love than learning dance moves I don't want to do for 25,000 people.
