I stay glued to my piano and my work. I don’t look up. I write, I produce, I do the next project, I do my job. I don’t look up, and I try to be kind. I try to be kind to people. That’s what I do.

You know, when I did ‘American Idol’ the three times, I tried to tell these kids you have to tell the story of the lyric.

When it comes to me, I just write the most beautiful music I can, I do the best work I can, and then I hand it out there.

I think my music is like anchovies – some people like it, some people get nauseous.

I’ve been up, down, trying to get the feeling again. All around, trying to get the feeling again. The one that makes me shiver, made my knees start to quiver.
