Songs are more powerful than books.

The songs will tell a story that I have imagined existing between the lines of Andersen's biography and some of his most famous tales, ... They speak of a misfit's love for an unattainable woman and a struggle between a huckster and someone who composes music in secret.

Happiness isn't a fortune in a cookie. It's deeper, wider, funnier, and more transporting than that.

Women hear rhythm differently than men.

I believe that music is connected by human passions and curiosities rather than by marketing strategies.

I learned very early in life that: "Without a song, the day would never end; without a friend, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend- without a song" So I keep singing a song.
