You used to have to sing and convey emotion, and now, well, technically you can do anything with technology. It sucks for music today, but that's why that old music feels so good to me.

I don't think I could ever really be with a woman because that's a lot of... Yeah, there's a lot of estrogen and I'm a lot to deal with when it's that time of the month, so I can't imagine it times two.

I turned to music originally because of my past and needing a release or an outlet to get out anger or frustration or hurt.

I think you can really gauge my state of mind by listening to my albums.

I'm not a judgmental person, so I can't comment on someone else's background.

The real beauty - inside, it comes from the heart, where love lives. If not, even the most common facial features can not hide the emptiness, which eventually pushes people.

Blues and soul and jazz music has so much pain, so much beauty of raw emotion and passion.
