To be true to myself, to be the person that was on the inside of me, and not play games. That's what I'm trying to do mostly in the whole world, is not bullshit myself and not bullshit anybody else.

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.

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

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'd rather not sing than sing quiet.

They asked me, How did you learn to sing the blues like that? How did you learn to sing that heavy? I just opened my mouth and that's what I sounded like. You can't make up something that you don't feel. I didn't make it up. I just opened my mouth and it existed.

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