I knew I wanted to sing when I was a very small boy. When I was probably 4 years old. My mother played a guitar and I would sit with her and she would sing and I learned to sing along with her.
When I record somebody else's song, I have to make it my own or it doesn't feel right. I'll say to myself, I wrote this and he doesn't know it!
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide.
I love to go to the studio and stay there 10 or 12 hours a day. I love it. What is it? I don't know. It's life.
I start a lot more songs than I finish, because I realize when I get into them, they're no good. I don't throw them away, I just put them away, store them, get them out of sight.
I'm very shy really. I spend a lot of time in my room alone reading or writing or watching television.
