  3. 'To me, that sounded like 'monkey tree xanadu!'

  4. 'I rock your face off? I rock your face off. I rocked someone's face off at the Grand Ole Opry. Check that off my list.'

  5. 'Yeah, it's hard to sing sad songs when there's so much love'

  6. 'I hoped to sell 50,000 records. My main goals were to sing my heart out, to challenge myself vocally, to find beautiful music that has great stories and to express what I love about the musicality of different languages. And if 10 people bought it, I'd be thrilled that 10 people listened to it. And if it was 10 million, I'd be thrilled that 10 million people listened to it. This is just beyond any dream that I could have possibly had.'

  7. 'I've been fascinated by music for as long as I can remember. I was the kid on the playground in the third grade who would tell other kids about Paul Simon or Depeche Mode.'

  8. 'First and foremost, I'd like to continue taking risks with my music. Everything I've done so far has been a gut reaction, honest and real. And that's who I am. That's what I want my music to always be -- honest and real.'

  9. 'I'm not crossing over from anything. I think of it as pop music with different influences. 'When I walk in the music store, [my] album is under classical/pop/easy listening. It's hard to say what genre it is. It's genreless. I try not to define what it is. I let the audience define it. Because for me, it's just me.'

  10. 'I wanted to experiment with that live energy, to push myself a little. It's very much about having intimacy with the music. I love theater - and I love playing in these old theaters. It's not a Vegas stage show. It's very much just me and the music and a five-piece band and a 20-piece string section from each city.'

  11. 'I just have to feel it first. It can't be cerebral at all. I'm big on lyrics, a big lyric person, especially the kind of singing I do. It's hard to sound not cheesy sometimes with the voice I have with English songs.'

  12. 'I can only say so much about how I feel. Music is what I always turned to when I was feeling a certain way. It's been my reason for everything.'
