I feel like we were so naive when we first got started, we didn't even know we'd be around for two years, given how tough it was when we were first starting out.

I think, as long as people are doing their craft at a high level, I'm going to have respect for it and find something that appeals to me.

It's no secret that my favorite part of the process is making records; if I'm not making them with Flatts, then I'm out producing them on other folks.

When you get to a certain point in your career, it's easy to just phone it in, to get complacent. If you're not careful, you can stop challenging yourself.

We were derided as a boy band, with pop music and not really country.

So many people have stood behind me for so long.

After 15 years of singing the same 12 to 15 songs every night, it can become monotonous.

I've never in my life had a cavity. Not one!

When you put a new show out, you always have a few kinks that you need to iron out, and you need to dial your show in. You figure out over a couple of weeks what songs work well together and what songs may not have the impact you thought they would at that spot in the show.

My faith and my beliefs sustain me through all of the craziness that this life brings.

It's always a wonderful time to be able to settle down by the fire, enjoy the Christmas tree and the decorations, and just spend time with the ones you love and surround yourself with the people that you don't get to see enough throughout the year.

People are surprised when they realise that I have sung 'Tinku Jiya' as they felt it was not my genre. As a musician, till the time I don't try something, I don't refuse it. I like challenging jobs.

When I came to Mumbai, I realised an individual should be versatile, and in playback singing you have different genres where you can explore yourself.

I don't feel that I have achieved anything, I just want people to love my songs.

Whenever I sing a song, I just want it to reach out to the audience.

I have a taste for ghazals and I like them.

I have got a lot of appreciation from people and they really like my voice in Sufi songs, so I will continue with that, but I'm also experimenting with other types of songs.

When you have fun doing something, you should immerse yourself in it completely.

Dance numbers continue to be popular and I believe soulful and romantic tracks, too, will never go out of trend.

In the beginning, many composers didn't have confidence in me. It's not their fault. It only comes after you've delivered your first hit.

When you hear a romantic song, the feeling is incomparable.

I am a student of Ghulam Ali, who was like my guru. I changed my name in his honour.

Many people say that theatre has no money, but it has been the stepping stone for the best film actors of our times like Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri, Paresh Rawal, etc.

Though I come from Delhi, many other artistes like me attained success in Maharashtra.
