If I'd known white people were going to buy my last album, I never would have recorded it.

I sit here before you trying to figure out how to pay a tax debt? If that's not like enough to slavery, I don't know.

I've leaned on God for so long. "Hey, God, you just gave me this gift, and I'm just going to go out there and sing." But I'm realizing how much larger and how expansive my gift becomes when I actually pay attention to it and try to practice and try to perfect it.

When I have a creative insight, there is a high. I think back in the day, I made music as much as I did because it made me feel so good. I think you could argue that there is a creative addiction - but, you know, the healthy kind.

And what you need ironically. Will turn out what you want to be. If you just let it.
