"I think there are a lot of people who really want to be famous, they really do. I don't. It sort of gets in the way of the everyday things that I do."

"When I do an album I try to find a producer that's excited about something that they want me to sing, and I check with the record company to find out what they think they can sell - which is their No. 1 priority."
