I've had to work very hard, and I don't really have a category or fit into any niche, so each time I come out with a new record, it's like, I'm a new guy.

People don't realize it, but no one lives that rock and roll life 24-7. They think it's hundreds of bottles of champagne flowing and private jets and money. But there's a lot of time when you're traveling - time to think, time to be lonely. Sometimes it gets to you.

God said, Here. Have it. Enjoy it. I'm gonna be miserable?

I was in Paris last year, where there's a great appreciation of many different aspects of African culture and of black culture. The music... the art... whatever... And I kind of went with that.

I have a great time with my band and on the stage we get along well.

It's interesting to be playing a father who's on the other side because that's not my world and not where I came from.

I'm a very open and loving person. My whole thing has been "let love rule" since my first album. I'm about unity and peace and God.
