I've been compared to hundreds of artists, which just goes to show you that I'm not any one thing at all.

Life, the moment. Where the magic is. That's what really keeps me motivated, alive, hungry. I'm still as excited and motivated now as I was twenty-five years ago, and that's because I really live for those moments. And that's where the art comes from, that's where the music is born, that's where it all appears. I love it.

Today, people are more into the glitz and the glamour of everything. We don't even read the inside of records anymore.

I do my best to try to keep God with me on a personal level. It's my belief that God really wants a personal relationship with us.

We should take time out to really love; we should take time out to find out who we are.

When I'm making my music, I'm writing it, I'm producing it, I'm playing all the instruments, I'm performing. It's my own world where I do what I feel, and nobody tells me anything.

I don't play the tuba.
