Until I was six years old we lived in the projects, then my two brothers and three sisters and I moved to a three-bed that my mother's father built. ↗

But I was always a bit of a gypsy, anyway. I spent five years at Oklahoma State, five years at Miami and moved on after winning the national championship, and five years with the Cowboys. So, I was ready to move on. We won back-to-back Super Bowls, and I felt that I accomplished what I wanted to accomplish. ↗

I had very modest expectations when I first moved to New York. I didn't even expect to get a record deal. ↗

Maybe I'm genetically more inclined to music - but the music I make is so far removed from Indian classical music. I grew up in Texas! ↗

When I moved to New York, I fell head over heels back into country music and probably 'cause I missed something about Texas. ↗

Humility was an important part of the way I grew up. And I found that to be less common when I moved to California. That's not to say humble people don't exist there, but ambition seems really important. ↗

I feel as if I were a piece in a game of chess, when my opponent says of it: That piece cannot be moved. ↗

The places I've worked in the past, I always stayed three years and moved on. ↗

I moved from New Zealand to Melbourne when I was 17. I'd planned to go to university to study French, but I was offered a contract to write and record an album that was too good to pass up. Looking back now I think that was pretty young but, at the time, I was ready to have an adventure. ↗

I was still young when I missed Beijing. I was favourite to win a medal but I knew I had time. My coach advised me to stay at school and finish my exams. Even if I had gone and won the Olympics, I might not have handled the pressure. So I moved on. ↗
