Everyone wants to talk, you've just got to find a way to get them to talk.

Survivor is like rock 'n' roll - you can do what you want.

The adventure you're ready for is the one you get!

So often, the best way to figure out who has a shot at winning is by eliminating those that you're pretty sure don't.

Even before I became a recording artist, I did other things in music. I was a teacher, I did studio work, and I was an arranger and a producer.
