It doesn't take a lot to get me motivated. I'm a studio rat. When I was in high school and I would walk into a recording studio, it felt like this magical place, this temple, this womb that I could escape into.

God is always in my life, and that's the most important thing to me.

I'm so happy. I am able to see the world just by making music, just by doing the thing that I loved doing when I was five years old.

The way I was raised and the people that I grew up around for the most part were very humble people, and I appreciate all that they taught me, and their energy and their magnanimity help keep me grounded.

I went to Paris in 1989 when the Americans didn't quite know what to do with me at first. Now, all those years later, it's kind of the same story. Not the same scenario, but kind of the same story.

I'm really happy about American Woman, it brought the Guess Who back. They started gigging again and got their song out on commercials.

Love is the most powerful energy there is.
