It's a lot harder to be clear-headed, but the good stuff is when you start realizing who's really you.

I don't think there's ever been any music quite like what we came up with.

Elvis might have compromised his musical style a bit towards the end, but that doesn't mean that artists from the rock n' roll/folk-roots culture - of which he was not really a part - shouldn't get better as they get older, like the great jazz or blues artists.

I would like to inspire a lot of people to be active and give back.

I speak my mind and come from a place of conscience, as well as have fun as a musician.

The challenge of course is in sobriety and that's been the blessing, to realize, to take accountability for the ways that your own thinking impacts your happiness, and your serenity, and your ability to be a productive and a loving, giving member of your family and society.

I'm not that beautiful, and I don't want to be a pop star.
