There's a constantly applicable nature to soul music, whereas sometimes pop music can be a periodical.

Very few things in life are worthy of the kind of emotional distress we put ourselves through.

I have male fans, but I'm persuading them to become female!

What I enjoy about the live experience is getting onstage, being handed a guitar that is in tune, taking it off mute, knowing that the very moment I want to play a note, I can play it. People are waiting on me and I'm waiting on me, and I have no idea what I'm going to play. That's the biggest joy in life.

I've always said I've got the coolest fans, and I brag about you like grandchildren when I talk to other artists.

I want to be the first guy from my generation who doesn't just represent one record but the promise of a lot of them.

Might be a quarter life crisis, just disturbin' in my soul.
