I can't draw. But I can draw with sound. That's the most useful thing I learned in terms of what my craft is... The arrangements were mine. They were little lines and stuff that I had written myself... And I was locked into this idea that vocals didn't count, melodies didn't count, songwriting craftsmanship didn't count. The only thing that counted was high arching guitar solos...

I'm a chameleon. I can change my voice a lot. I always was able to, because in my family's music I was a harmony singer, and harmony singing is really hard.

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

We were raised with the idea that we had limitless chances and we got very shocked to learn that wasn't the case.

I never went to the Beatles' concerts to scream. I never screamed at anybody's show. I was on my feet with the entire, all of the crowned heads of Motown, and we were shrieking our guts out.

People have often written about me, that I did this for this reason and that for that reason, and theyre usually 98 percent wrong.

Being an entertainer, especially in times like these, is really a public service.
