At my concerts most of the chicks are looking for liberation, they think I'm gonna show 'em how to do it.

If you've got a today, don't wear it tomorrow. Tomorrow never happens. It's all the same day.

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

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.

What we've had to do is learn to control success, put it in perspective, and not lose the essence of what we're doing - the music.

I won't quit to become someone's old lady.

I'm just doing what I wanted to and what feels right and not settling for bullshit and it worked. How can they be mad at that?
