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

When everything is together - the band, me, the audience, it's boss! It's just like magic.

I just want to feel as much as I can, it's what soul is all about.

You're only as much as you settle for. If they settle for being somebody's dishwasher that's their own f***ing problem. If you don't settle for that and you keep fighting it, you know, you'll end up anything you want to be.

All any girl really wants is just love and a man. But what man can put up with a rock-n-roll star?

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