I think cursing is a bunch of malarkey.

I think in terms of emotions. And feelings. So sometimes what I say may not always be clear. But creatively, there's a lot to be said for that way of thinking.

I think about God, yes, and I wonder if there is a God. And if there is a God, will God please help me through my hard trips.

I'd earned over a million dollars by the time I was old enough to vote.

Gershwin inspired me very much. The concept of 'That Lucky Old Sun' was inspired by 'Rhapsody in Blue' - not influenced, but inspired.

I have stage fright every single concert I've ever done. I have at least four or five minutes of it. It's absolute living hell.

I believe that music is God's voice.
