I can sing better after shooting smack in both arms than after eating too much.

I think musicians are always supportive of each other because they want the groove to keep going on. They just basically want to play music.

There are a lot of aspiring singers who are not paid attention to because they don't look like a fashion model.

What I think is the universal, wonderful thing about music, is that it's very inclusive.

I think if you do what's in your heart - Joseph Campbell always says you have to follow your bliss, and if you do, doors open where you didn't even realize there were doors.

A lot of singers that I've heard that I may not like their sensibility, but I see that they're entitled to whatever they get. People don't get there without talent, they really don't.

The essential elements of singing are voice, musicianship, and story. It is the rare artist that has all three in abundance.
