I'm aware of my songs. I'm aware of them because they're about true emotions, true feelings, things that matter.

People should never allow themselves to be dictated to by media.

I've been asked over the years to compile a list of desert-island discs. I couldn't do that. If I was trapped on a desert island, I don't think I'd want 10 songs to bring with me.

As a human being, I'm work in process.

You know, I've been to some superstars' houses, and I've been really disgusted when I see their platinum discs hanging in the toilet. They're just there on the walls glaring at you when you're trying to be occupied with other things.

I will always pay respect and homage to my early years, because that's what gave me the initial push to go on and do what it is I do. That's where I learned the love and respect for music.

Rules are important, but they're temporary and they're always supposed to be changed.
