When an audience comes to one of my concerts, I hope they'll see themselves, somewhere, in one of the songs.

All my life I have gone out on a limb, but I have turned the limb into a bridge, and there is cool, clear water flowing under.

When we make mistakes, say, I'm blessed that I have an opportunity to learn from this.

You just keep feeding hogwash to people, and pretty soon they'll eat it.

A lot of artists say, I'm not political. People are afraid of this word.

I'm not allowing my perspective to be dictated by the dominant culture.

Time has passed through me and become a song.
