When you work on a record for three years, it's a great sense of relief when it is finally out in the world. It just feels good.

I'm somebody who gets a lot of inspiration from dreams.

I do watch 'American Idol' sometimes. It's not really that pleasurable... I take that back. It is the epitome of a guilty pleasure. Sometimes there's some good singers on that show.

I've done gospel songs on every album.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

There's never been anything I didn't love that I didn't connect with on a personal level because, to some degree, I projected upon it.
