Maybe in my personal life, but as far as my career, I've been offered some humongous things in my career and didn't take them. I look back and think, oh man, well I'd have been well off monetarily wise, but artistic wise I don't know. I'd have to say, personally, in my personal life, yeah, but in my musical life, on twenty-twenty hindsight I would say just take the good with the bad.

Nowadays it's hard to get somebody to invest the time - everybody wants to be famous rather than be a good musician.

My family was into music. My dad was into music down south. My mom and grandmother were into gospel music so there were all types. That was my inspiration.

When you are sitting in a room and somebody does something or says something and a thought comes, an idea or a melody - you have to just grab it while it's there because it will go away.

Some of the best advice I was given was that me doing a bad version of me is better than me doing a good version of someone else.

I'm a firm believer that you learn a hell of a lot more from your failures than you do from your successes.

I'm just a restless soul musically.
