When I sing, I feel like when you're first in love. It's more than sex. It's that point two people can get to they call love, when you really touch someone for the first time, but it's gigantic, multiplied by the whole audience. I feel chills.

Don't you know that you're nothing more than a one night stand?

On stage I make love to twenty five thousand people; and then I go home alone.

I'm not really thinking much... Just sort of, trying to feel.

You know why we're stuck with the myth that only black people have soul? Because white people don't let themselves feel things.

I talk to the audience, look into their eyes. I need them and they need me.

Distance cannot kill this relationship. Time cannot breakdown anything we have. This is a relationship that I am ready to sacrifice and stand up for.
