I think that most of my romance comes out in my music. And if you look at my track record of three ex-wives, maybe there's something to that.

Maybe my songs are my partner. How 'bout that? Yeah, the biggest relationship I have is with my songs.

I seem to be drawn to the really romantic songs.

I can sing in various genres, but my heart truly lies in singing romantic songs. This has been my forte ever since I was 8 or 9.

Romance is one of the things that most countries share, and I've noticed how different communities have their own ways of singing about love and heartbreak.

Anxiety and spiritual searching have been consistent themes with me, and that figures into my worldview. But I tend to make my songs sound like relationship songs.

A lot of songs are empowering because everybody who has been through a hard time in a relationship or in their lives can relate to it.

When you hear romantic music, it makes you want to take your girl out to dinner or buy her something or take her out in the moonlight or take her on a walk.

I think that musicians should never forget about the intimacy of bringing two people together, and the aesthetic transference where you're almost vicariously involved in a romance between other people.
