It's so amazing standing on the corner -this happened in Washington D.C. - and somebody comes by in a Cadillac and you hear 'Manic Monday' on the radio and you don't even know this person and they're listening to it and singing along with it. Wow! Blows your mind.

It's so amazing to hear a crowd of people singing one of your songs. It's the best feeling.

It's amazing when you're playing to a crowd who barely understands English but they're singing parts of your song back to you.

When you're doing the traditional musicals singing songs that are 40 and 50 years old you realize there's a reason why those musicals are hits. These are amazing songs!

I get to travel around the world and meet all of these amazing people and they're singing my songs! And to me that's crazy.

The real amazing thing about all of this is I think I've maintained the mentality of a musician throughout it all which I'm proudest of. And I'm still playing on people's records and singing on people's records.

Singing really is acting. In a lot of ways it's much more personal. I love music and being able to work on that is amazing.

You have to respect your audience. Without them you're essentially standing alone singing to yourself.

Another thing I like to do is sit back and take in nature. To look at the birds listen to their singing go hiking camping and jogging and running walking along the beach playing games and sometimes being alone with the great outdoors. It's very special to me.

The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden a dim twilight and a fountain singing to it. You and you alone make me feel that I am alive. Other men it is said have seen angels but I have seen thee and thou art enough.
