The idea of having to conform to someone else's ideal is unacceptable. I'm gonna be me. And if I can't be me, then I'd rather not do it.

The image that the public gets is whatever they perceive it to be. Everybody has an opinion, everybody has their own vision, so I don't know what my public image is. I have no idea.

I just feel so good; it feels like a very creative time for me. As far as my mind, spirit, and body, I've never felt better.

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

Keeping grounded and keeping focused and keeping calm and thankful, that comes from God.

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.

I was always talking about peace and love, even when I was a kid. That's how I grew up in my family.
