I'm not too bothered about what category my music goes in and there's no point in limiting in who you can reach, but I want it to be respected.

I mean, there'll always be room for big productions and everything but it's good to see the other side.

I always knew I wanted to be a musician, and I always knew I wanted to write, 'cause the people I was listening to all wrote. I never thought it was an option to sing anyone else's songs.

Well, I actually wrote her a letter a couple of days ago congratulating her. The tone I tried to convey in the letter is, look, you are a part of a great American historical process.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.

I know I'm not the kind of person who's gonna wind up a walking jukebox, like many rock 'n' roll artists. They just play their hits and that's it. That doesn't appeal to me.
