It will make a weak man mighty. it will make a mighty man fall. It will fill your heart and hands or leave you with nothing at all. It's the eyes for the blind and legs for the lame. It is the love for hate and pride for shame. That's the power of the gospel.

People say, "How do you write songs?" I say, "Patience." I may have a track that's hot, but no words. I'll just let it sit for years, because I know they're going to meet. They'll find it.

I'm not going to do the Ben Harper house record or the Ben Harper drum 'n' bass record.

I appreciate that something I've done has found a safe place to land.

I want to try to not be the child that had to go through too much too young. I want to be who I am now and not who I was then.

I've never made a record that didn't sound better than what was in my head - that's sort of my rule.

When you have everything, you have everything to lose.
