Once you’re successful with a certain kind of music, it’s hard not to have faith in it as a means to stay successful.

I didn’t know how well my first album had done; it was enough to get me to do the second album, which was a continuation of the music I’d worked on and perfected.

I’ve been overweight all my life.

That’s a wonderful thing, because one of the primary qualities of a good performance is honesty.

My hope is that out of all the anger and seeming hostility that we hear in some of today’s music will come some sort of coalition that will become politically involved.

Remember: Always walk in the light. And if you feel like you’re not walking in it, go find it. Love the light.

As musicians, and as people who sell material for people to hear and absorb, it’s important that we use that voice wisely.

Walking in the dark, seeing lovers do their thing. That’s the time, I feel like making love to you.

Music is an art form that doesn’t need to be explained. It needs to be performed; it needs to be felt; it needs to be listened to; it needs to progress.

There’s a river somewhere that flows through the lives of everyone.
