I've asked to go back into theaters and smaller venues because to me, in smaller venues I can really demonstrate my commitment to quality. Theaters are great containers for music.

I think our storytellers - our songwriters should be great storytellers, and they should be mountain climbers and explorers, because music is something that can cross all different borders.

Singing and music was my only talent. I've been blessed with this talent. I'm quite pleased with how it all came out,

I try to acknowledge both the sacred and the silly in my work. That goes for the live show as well. If I find myself in my head or dwelling in seriousness, I think of my friends back home and how they'd be laughing at me.

They need a new song like a new religion, music for the television,

I don't know what the music is gonna do, ... It may bring peace and harmony to the entire world or it may cause the next world war. I just don't know.
