"But the greatest thing about music is putting it out there for people to figure out. You want the listener to find the song on their own. If you give too much away, it takes away from the imagination."
Imagination

Mission

Character

"Well, you know, it's been interesting because an album is just a snapshot of where you are at that time. Not all pictures of everybody are just in jeans and a 'T' shirt, or a ball gown. You have many different sides and this is a snapshot of where you are at that time."
Time
"I think that I was being much more uptight about those things before. I feel like I really don't have to prove anything at this point other than what I'm doing."
Being
"The album is a definite departure. I haven't written original material before, except for one song on my first album, but Elvis and I did six songs together on this one."
Departure
"You're creating an intimacy that everybody feels, that it's their experience, not yours. I'll never introduce a song and say, now this song is about 'my' broken heart."
Experience
"I love music so much I love what I do. I work very hard at being the best musician I can be because I love it."
