I don't over-sing anymore, which I used to suffer from terribly because I couldn't hear myself.

My songs were always about the tone of voice rather than the words.

In every song, there is a vocal element that doesn't have any words. I wanted to play around with how emotive and expressive my voice could be.

Sometimes you sing songs about the way you want to feel more than the way you actually do feel.

Think how different it is to experience a word than a sound. When you're hearing a singer, you're controlled by the words, because you understand the language, you know what they're talking about, and you're forced to think about what they're talking about. But when you're hearing that same thing without a word, you're free to wander.

You can say things a million times, but if you can't sing it, then it really isn't much of a song.

Singing aloud leaves you with a sense of levity and contentedness.

As soon as I could speak, I was singing. Before I could even speak full words, I would make up ones to sing and I have it on tape, too.

I can't talk about my singing. I'm inside it. How can you describe something you're inside of?

It may not necessarily reflect my current frame of mind. Sometimes I have to put myself at the point in time of the voice that I'm trying to sing with.
