You can tune your guitar funky, and something's gonna come out. There's no secret to it - either you got it, or you don't.

I have to be in tune. All the time. I have to be in tune with my husband, where he is, how he's feeling. I have to be in tune with where my family is.

Once we're inside a tune, we can do anything with it.

There's a lot of stuff you've gotta know about Auto-Tune before you can start using it, because it's the hot thing to do.

I'm a little bit of a control freak when it comes to my music, unfortunately.

When someone picks up one of my songs and records it, I'm a flattered man, it's a blessing to me.

I've got the recording process down, and I can knock it out very quickly.

I can't imagine how people will react to my music. For me, it's a really fluid process from one record to the next, but it's really up to the listener.

When I did it, I was a starving musician in London in a basement flat, but a simple tune with the right singer or the right situation can become very well liked and accepted. I'm only too pleased to say it happened with that one.
