I refuse to make uninspired music.

If I fall, I fall. I'll rise up like anybody else.

As long as the songs are strong, I think you can express yourself in any style and have it be soulful and have it be your own voice.

That happens every time I get behind a guitar, regardless of what I'm saying, 'cause music is freedom and being free is the closest I've ever felt to being spiritual.

I dont know if hell exists, but there sure as hell are some people who dont belong in heaven.

I grew up listening to spiritual music, Blind Willie Johnson and folk.

My choice is what I choose to be.
