I'm too shy, really to be able to hang out with my heroes for too long.

I walked along that slippery slope where if you fail through lack of faith, you sell your soul to the devil.

Music is not a commodity, it's a resource.

What kind of religion is it that would encourage the parent to shelter the child from any outside influences and punish it by putting it out in a world you never had any way of learning about?

The thing I fail to do is fully comprehend what's given back to me by the audience. You would think you would be a performer partly so you could feel all the appreciation or adulation, but I haven't quite managed that yet.

The love that I pray every day is manifest through me. Not because I'm a loving person, but because the God that I serve loves everybody.

I believe in the power of music. I believe in it absolutely. It's never failed me. Never.
