I never sit down to write. When I'm moved, I do it. I just wait for it to come. You just hear it. I can't really describe writing. It's in my head. I don't think about the styles. I write whatever comes out and I use whatever kind of instrumentation works for those songs...A lot of people don't listen to the lyrics, really. A lot of people pretty much only listen to the chorus.

When you see a close person you know pass in front of your eyes, it's hard core. After all that, I just wanted to enjoy every day. That was my goal. And to give thanks and to live fully.

It's a good time for me to pursue acting, I suppose since I'm enjoying having another medium in which to express myself. I've been getting a great response to my work.

There are so many people that don't believe in themselves and don't have faith.

I want to get away, I want to fly away. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Nine out of ten groups that came out in '89 are gone. I'm still here.

If you listen to a lot of old funk records, the drums are really small. But you don't perceive it like that because the groove is so heavy.
