I am invincible, as long as I'm alive.

May this be the year that things go your way most of the time, and when they don't, may you have great friends to lean on.

The biggest mistake I made and what cost me a lot of enjoyment in my life, was assuming that everybody cared. They don’t.

I'm getting to a point where everything is becoming streamlined in my life. I'm learning how to stand onstage for two hours and play in front of thousands of people as if I am completely in the moment every moment.

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

How dare you say it's nothing to me? Baby, you're the only light I ever saw.

I'm not deluded enough to think that everyone who knows my name is a listener. You know, I hope that part of that interest - part of that public interest - has to do with me still making records that people like.
