This moment in time, on this tour, you know, I'm discovering a lot of new things. And to be 45 and doing that, it's a mixture of pleasure and pain, I can assure you.

Up until I became a father, it was all about self-obsession. But then I learned exactly what it's all about: the delight of being a servant.

To sing in a lower key is harder work. You have to use your diaphragm more.

I found my God in music and the arts, with writers like Hermann Hesse, and musicians like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Little Walter. In some way, in some form, my God was always there, but now I have learned to talk to him.

I feel wonderful because I see the love light in your eyes, and the wonder of it all is you just don't realize how much I love you.

I thought, 'My God, this is like Buddy Guy on acid.'

Music became a healer for me.
