I want to be surrounded by women, I want to be snuggled and cuddled and pampered.

I really want to be able to keep going and I realize that in some aspects I've got to treat myself like an athlete.

The more I travel around the world, the more I see people want the same thing - to be happy. We wouldn't be in a monetary system if we didn't have to work, so if my music can contribute to happiness, then that's my main responsibility.

I can't predict what songs will do to the collective consciousness.

It makes me feel great, knowing my songs are being heard and of service to people.

Equality and separation cannot exist in the same space.

Everything in life influences my music. I've always used songwriting as a means to share what I think is profound.
