It's very liberating when you finally realize it's impossible to make everyone like you.

I wanted to be a blues guitar player. And a singer. And a songwriter. Not a shock jock.

I went to my library, right? And I started to research the Bill of Rights and I did not technically find anything that said all Americans shall eat shrimp with whoever they like. But, I found some things that are close enough to infer that I am within my legal rights to enjoy seafood with whomever I choose.

I hope that what it comes down to at the end of the day is that people believe that I believe what I'm singing. It comes down to being believable. You don't have to be likeable; generally, though, I think I am.

I love you more than songs can say, but I can't keep running after yesterday.

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

We just feel like we don't have the means, To rise above and beat it. So we keep waiting, Waiting on the world to change...
