You can put a new shirt on your back, slide a fresh chain around your neck, and accumulate all the money and power in the world, but at the end of the day those are just layers. Money and power don't change you, they just further expose your true self.

By the time I got to record my first album, I was 26, I didn't need pen or paper - my memory had been trained just to listen to a song, think of the words, and lay them to tape.

I got mouths to feed til they put flowers on me.

Treat my first like my last and the last like my first and my thirst is the same as- when I came.

When I listen to great music, the first thing I wonder is what people were saying when this came out of the speakers in the studio. I want to know what happened when they played it and said, "This is the one!"

Remind your self. Nobody constructed like you, you style your self.

If you want the old me, go buy my old albums.
