“I picked and co-wrote the songs that if I was a guy who would be spending my hard-earned money buying an album I would want to hear.”

I didn’t have a lot to do with the first record.

A lot of people say I’m an overnight success, but it’s an overnight success that’s been twelve years in the making.

I was so happy and content with in life playing music. Music was always my first job and my day gig was my second job.

I think it has a lot to do with determination. I treat people the way I want to be treated and believe if you work hard you can have the things you want in life.

I was blessed. I had a great childhood and great parents that loved music and family. I moved from England when I was almost 18 and been on my own ever since and have been trying to make a living in the music business for the past twelve years.

My lifes a wreck, and I love it.

When I want to check out how my lifes been, I go through my albums. They steps in my life.

From day one when you’re singing, you’re dreaming about making that first album and making your break into whatever music you want to break into.

Every time I release an album my old record company releases another one.

You’re always frustrated, you don’t have the chance to do a song on the album, like the Beatles did with Ringo and George, or like Led Zeppelin, where everybody was given a chance to contribute. There never is a chance with the Stones.

I tried acting and all of the arts, I even put out a record album, but what I like the most is business.

I’m narrating the television series Biography. I’m still involved in my music – I have a new album out. I have an animated project in development. I’m writing a lot of things and you never know if one of them is going to become a six or seven year project.

I’d done three solo albums in a row, and that’s quite narcissistic.

I never liked making albums.
