Change is growth. For me it has been a very spiritual and musical rebirth.

If I were white, I'd get less criticism.

Every night is different, you never know what it's going to be like. I remember every night. I don't like to compare them.

We should take time out to really love; we should take time out to find out who we are.

I come in with this rock 'n' roll-oriented music, and it's not black enough . . . I've always had to deal with this black-white thing.

Where I'm at in life, the women have got to come with something else, not just the body, but the mind and spirit. It usually trips them out, but that's the way it's going to be. I'm looking at the big picture.

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.
