My voice is unadorned. I don't try for perfection. I try to be honest and truthful and soulful with the voice I have. If I make mistakes in notes, or there are cracks in notes, I don't fix them. That's the way it is.

Maybe tonight, maybe tonight by the fire all alone you and I. Nothing around but the sound of heart and your sighs.

I've always accepted some kind of deity, especially as a songwriter.

I've finally found somebody who's up to the task of being my wife, because I'm very ... high maintenance.

She got the way to move me, Cherry, she got the way to groove me.

I don't like all of the music to be serious and deadly.

Brooklyn is not the easiest place to grow up in, although I wouldn't change that experience for anything.
