There's enough drama in my life whether I want it or not. There's enough going on right now to keep my head spinning all the time.

...Everything you hate is everything that you created.

I think also there was a lot of coming to terms with where I am in life, where I fit in as a gay man in America, and getting more comfortable with who I am.

I have music in my head constantly. I have to have a soundtrack in my head.

The blues is something separate from what I do. They connect at certain spots, but blues is different. I wouldn't put it in with what my career has been. That would be a whole separate wing.

There are a lot of people, especially the younger generation who don't feel that they need to support the artists by buying their music because they grew up learning that record companies are evil.

In this world, I've got no choice: there is nothing left at all; and you don't notice, but that's all right: you don't know what it's like.
