I understand that, but this disc shows the type of music that I've always liked and wanted to make.
I really didn't have any plans to record prior to doing My Own Best Enemy.
As a songwriter, there's nothing better than winning Song Of The Year. But I couldn't really celebrate, because it wasn't right. Luther wasn't standing next to me, to receive the award.
I don't think I've ever laid out a batch of songs that pick myself apart the way that these do.
It never ceases to amaze me that I get to do this for a living.
Even if the record is really successful, it's not going to change my future as a producer; if it means recording another record, great.
