When I am in Africa, I realize I don't know much, have not seen much, and there's a lot to be done.

I'd like to talk to Sean Hannity in a controlled environment and say, 'O.K., you can't interrupt and jump up and down like a professional wrestler.'

My feelings for you shame me into silence.

I mean I appreciate fan mail and that the people like what I am doing but I can't answer it. If I would answer 25 letters a day I would be just a guy answering mail and not an artist anymore.

I think of the thrill of an intelligent woman talking just to me.

I got my heart broken. My spirit got shattered and mutilated. I will not be coming back from this. I don’t want to.

Whenever I write lyrics, in the back of my mind I always see a guy driving to work, driving to a really bad job, one of those horrible institutions, or one of those low squat buildings in Los Angeles. I write with that person in my mind.
