I'm not gay - everybody thinks I am - but I dig 'The L Word.'

I was a cover artist for years. I didn't start writing songs until I was in my mid-twenties. I wrote them with John Leventhal, and they were pretty bad. I was in my late twenties when I wrote the first song with him that made any sense to me about what I was rooted in and what spoke for me as an artist. That was 'Diamond in the Rough.'

I get a lot of joy out of covering other people's songs, and, at my best, I think I bring something a little new to a lot of them.
