People hear the soul, black influence in my voice. I grew up listening to CKLW and all the black stations like WLBS.

I think my biggest flaw is my insecurity. I'm terribly insecure. I'm plagued with insecurities 24/7.

I was a buffoon and an idiot until the age of forty

I don't think I have to introduce myself, unless you don't recognize me with my clothes on.

One of the many things I learned from all of this: If you aren't willing to fight for what you believe in, then don't even enter the ring.

With every breath, I'm deeper in you.

Some people are medicating themselves all the time so that they don't have to embrace themselves. If you can't feel, you can't embrace.
