Everybody over there, get on up. Everybody out there, get into it. Everybody right there, get involved.

Music has to breathe and sweat. You have to play it live.

You can't teach others if you are living the same way.

My music wasn't written by Mozart, Beethoven, Bach or Schubert. It's written by God and me. They go "a one and a two and up." We start on the downbeat. Bam! And that's where we got them.

I just thank God for all of the blessings.
