My music isn't anything but me. It has jazz in it, and rock'n'roll, and it has an urgency to it.

Though my problems are meaningless, that don't make them go away.

I don't like to be labeled, to be anything. I've made the mistake before myself of labeling my music, but it's counter-productive.

I may not be the devil, but I know just how he feels.

My life is not a political campaign. I just write about what is on my mind. I just play whatever I feel like playing. Whatever is in my soul at the time is what I want to do. I have, thank god, enough people who are still interested in what I am doing so that I can go out and keep doing it.

We have to understand that people are different. I don't know, if we really understand who we're dealing with over there.

Commitments are one of the worst things to have in the music business. They're very annoying.
