I've always felt myself as being a serious singer.

Time is my enemy. Time will catch up with me vocally. And I dread that. I dread to think about life without singing.

When I started recording, I thought I'd be able to do all kinds of records: jazz, country, dance - and I've always wanted to do a gospel album.

I'm a lyric man - I'm always looking for meaningful songs.

I have had some pretty wild nights! I think the media keeps a very close eye on what people are up to these days. I was out with George Clooney a few nights ago and we had a great time.

I like to drink to suit my location.
winning ideas awards
Winning the Outstanding Contribution award is great, because you know you have won in advance. Previously, I have been really nervous during the ceremony because you have no idea if you are going to get called up on stage. This time I could relax and enjoy myself.
