When I look at how fortunate I've been, being a musician... my response to being overpaid is that I should pay it back to my community in some way.

How we can stay faithful to the people that have supported us from the beginning is a thought in my mind. I always want to keep that part of it alive.

I use God in my songs a lot but I don't have a relationship. I don't know what that means.

I think I am a very kind person. I think I'm joyful, but I could be kinder and I could be more joyful. I do believe peace is a state of grace, and not the absence of violence.

Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes, but I'll work it out.

I know I have a very unusual style of playing, where other more recognized and technically proficient players might look at me and wonder what the heck I'm doing. The purpose of my learning to play the way I do was more to accompany my singing. I figured out a style where I'm mentally playing the drums over a simple melody.

We have to do much more than believe if we really want to change things.
