I am up there onstage alone with that guitar. I don't have to consider no one else and whether they are comfortable. I need very little.

I love being able to reach people directly, but in an ideal scenario, I would not have to rush the release of new music… but the message is still there.

As musicians and artists, it's important we have an environment - and I guess when I say environment, I really mean the industry, that really nurtures these gifts. Oftentimes, the machine can overlook the need to take care of the people who produce the sounds that have a lot to do with the health and well-being of society.

The only help I need to live, is unprofessional. The only wealth I have to give, is not material. And if you need much more than that, I'm not available.

You might win some, but you just lost one.

The sweetest thing I've ever known was like the kiss on the collarbone.

You say, Wait a minute, God, you spared me from a slave job in an office, and now I have a slave job onstage. I am not on that clock no more.
