If I'm free, it's because I'm always running.

My own thing is in my head. I hear sounds and if I don't get them together nobody else will.

The reflection of the world is blues, that's where that part of the music is at. Then you got this other kind of music that's tryin' to come around.

It's up to the people. If they really want to keep it going, they'll keep it going... they'll appreciate the music.

I was trying to do too many things at the same time, which is my nature. But I was enjoying it, and I still do enjoy it.

I'm trying to get more into other things, where reality is nothing but each individual's way of thinking.

It's time for a new National Anthem. America is divided into two definite divisions. The easy thing to cop out with is sayin' black and white. You can see a black person. But now to get down to the nitty-gritty, it's getting' to be old and young - not the age, but the way of thinking. Old and new, actually... because there's so many even older people that took half their lives to reach a certain point that little kids understand now.
