At 10 o'clock in the morning I'd go right in the studio. It feels good to be there in the morning before the day starts to mess with you - I don't mean in a negative way, but before I'd speak to a lot of people or get into anything, I'd go in there and just see what I felt. A lot happens in the morning for me in the studio.

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.

Today, people are more into the glitz and the glamour of everything. We don't even read the inside of records anymore.

Eventually you're going to have a digital transfer anyway when you make a CD, so it doesn't matter as long as what you're hitting first is what you want it to be.

That's a big gift when people say to you that a song helped them or brought them to some place in their life where they needed to be.

It was amazing to me that, all of a sudden, I was hearing my music on the radio and coming out of cars.
