I Really Love Things With Melody.

I Genuinely Don't Feel That Anything That's Been Written Or Said About Me Has Overshadowed My Music, And That's The Most Important Thing As Far As I'm Concerned.

I Like Songs With A Lot Of Heart And Feeling And Subtlety.

Nobody Was Listening When I Learned How To Play Music. But There's Something About Being On Stage, Talking To The Audience, Looking At Them And Smiling, That's Always Been Difficult For Me. I'm A Lot More Comfortable Now, But There Are Still Moments Of Awkwardness.

My Mom And I Have Always Been Very Close. She Is My Best Friend. She Had To Make A Lot Of Sacrifices Early On In My Life To Make Sure I Got To Do What I Wanted To Do.

God Bless Ray Charles. It Was Such An Honor To Meet Him And Sing With Him And Actually Just To Watch Him Sing From Just Two Feet Away.
