Nothing in my songs is disrespective.

The majority of my audience has always been women.

If you can't move the audience, they don't want you.

It gets harder and harder to make sure your public understands you're a sensitive human being, but I am sensitive. I don't like to be hurt.

Life didn't promise to be wonderful.

I love the sad songs with their maudlin, self-deprecating, almost funny lyrics. As an Englishman, they make a lot of sense.
