It's not that I don't love the song. My songs are like my children: some you want around and some you want to send off to college as soon as possible.

In every life we have some trouble, but when you worry you make it double. Don't worry. Be happy.

I couldn't do anything without faith. I couldn't open up my eyes, I couldn't walk, I couldn't speak, I couldn't sing.

Inviting audiences to open up and hear things differently is an important part of what I do. But I still love to sing songs with words, too.

Musicians are the architects of heaven.

Remembering that life can be full of surprises is useful in any part of your life. You can try a new way of singing a song you’ve performed for years, a new way of showing your family your love for them, or a new recipe. Don’t just play the licks you know. We’re all improvising all the time — it’s good to recognize that and embrace it.
