I think most of the time when people have big disagreements and big misunderstandings, when time lessens that blow it creates a deeper understanding for both people.

I can relate to soul, R&B... whatever people want to call me is fine. I just hope it makes them feel something.

The closest place that I feel like I come to having religious moments is always musical.

Theres nothing but spirit in music. Thats all it is. Yeah, theres a lot of intellectual elements to it, but no matter how you approach it, its all spirit.

I grew up working at a record store and listening to vinyl. Even if it's side A and B, there's always this continuity that really turned me on about music.

I don't know anyone who is a writer who isn't influenced by the relationships in their life.

You need a strong sense of 'otherness' to be able to create in your life.
