Years ago I sang on a track using that voice and someone asked, `Who is that terribly depressed man?` ... But Patrick loved it. He said, `You sound like a young boy, like a child, like an old woman, like an old man,` and really, we all have all of those things inside of us. I don`t do any vocal gymnastics to make the voice better as I age. If it comes out rougher, then it`s true to what`s happening. Singing is who I am. I didn`t train for it, any more than I trained for anything else I did. I probably should take better care of myself physically, but it goes against the grain.
