I'm known for being a good listener. Most people need a lot of love and encouragement and I'm more than willing to give a person all the encouragement and time they need.

I feel like before I came to the planet I asked God for the gift of music. I didn't want to come here without the gift of music and God granted it to me.

I take jobs with people I admire, people with incredible talent who aren't necessarily big sellers.

A lot of artists don't like the sound of their voice. They're put off by it.

I believe as musicians and artists we have an obligation to our souls. What that is? Only each one of us knows. I can speak for myself and say my obligation is to be happy. When I’m happy, I make great music. When I’m unhappy and my heart is broken, I may make brokenhearted music, but it still sounds good.

I wanted to be Jimi Hendrix's drummer when I was in high school, but I graduated in 1970, the year he died.
