I may have a little bit of a talent for music, but I've learnt to tap into my own self when I write. When I put the drill bit inside my heart, sometimes I come up with something light and frothy, sometimes with something deep and painful, but it's great to connect with the audience.

I used to go to my kids' soccer games and I was the only parent who wasn't screaming, because I'd have to do a show that night. It was hard. Moms and dads get more emotional at those soccer and Little League games than at a professional game.

When love is unkind, it is not love anymore.

But you make me sing like a guitar humming . . .
Neil Diamond

Well, I Am... I Said was a very difficult song, very difficult because I really had to spend a lot of time thinking about what I was before the song was written.

It's very difficult for me to say 'I love you' but to sing 'I love you' for me is easier.

Acting is a specific discipline. Just because you can sing doesn't mean you have the sensitivities of being an actor.
