Love , creativity, and opportunity is in the air. Take it in and do your thing.

I think kids in Europe have developed a deeper knowledge of music and of black music in particular. You go to Europe, and these kids know about all this obscure funk and soul that kids over here wouldn't know. I think it's getting better in the States, though, with the age of the Internet.

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

I basically camped out for a year and a half in an Airstream trailer on the beach out in front of the studio. I had no idea what I was gonna do, what kind of album I was gonna make - all I knew was that I wanted to sit there and just take in whatever came.

When it comes to acting, it's about creating a character and bringing forth a director's vision. It's a weird feeling, because with acting, it's just not about me. I love being in that position, because with the music, it's always about me.

I just need to know that I did the very best I could and that I was true to myself.

A lot of my songs deal with spirituality and God, and I guess if you're in tune with that, you'll read into it.
