I Used To Play Pianos In Bars.

I Kinda Went Back To That Period Between '88 And '94 Where I Felt Like I Was The Most Creative, Without Being Hindered By Powers That Be. I Was No Longer Going To Try To Hinder Myself To What I Thought Was Going To Be On The Radio.

I'm Not Thinking About What Needs To Be On The Radio. I'm Not Thinking About Anything Other Than - I'm Just Going To Let This Music Come Out Of Me And Not Have Any Sort Of Preconceived Notion Of What I Should Do. I'm Just Going To Do It.

When It's Your Chance To Step Up To The Plate, Just Hit It Out Of The Park, And Everybody Will Forget About Everything That Came Before.

I Listen To All Kinds Of Songs. There's Something To Be Learned From Every Type Of Music And From The One Making It, Whether It's Pop Or Jazz Or Hip-hop.

My Fans Are The Best In The World! They've Grown Up With Me And Stayed With Me Through This Entire Journey.
