I still have a lot of faith that there's very few people who are savvy enough to actually produce a good sounding copy of the record.

I have always thought it was important to maintain some connection for myself to what it takes to make a song work by myself, to put a song across to an audience by myself.

I don't believe every download is a lost sale.

There's probably not any kind of music that means more to me than gospel and soul. I heard somebody say that soul music is being proud of where you're from and what you've accomplished, and letting that show. Losing some self-consciousness and ego to join something larger. I like that idea a lot, just letting it all hang out, and on this album we did our best at that.

For the most part I stand by all of records. I just always like the one I've done most recently the best and I think that's the whole point.

I'm very, very suspicious of anybody that finds a belief system that they feel can explain it all, for themselves or for anybody else.
