It’s a privilege to have you on the show. Wherever you go, I don’t mind, to be honest, because it’s great just to have you on this show.”
Kate: “What I loved about that performance was it was unadorned. It was really moving. You moved me deeply.”
Richard: “You know, I’ve heard that song of mine sung by a lot of people. That was just so sweet and – and unexpected. And it’s like, this is so weird for me to say this. You sang it like you wrote it. “

Kate: “What I really loved about that was that you had the courage to go simple.

Whereas you had the boldness and the belief in yourself to just get up and go.”
Richard: “What a way to blow our socks off. Well done.”
