I'm a nut for Bach as a composer.

To most white people, jazz means black and jazz means dirt, and that's not what I play. I play black classical music.

I believe the time will come when the whole definition of pop music will change. It will get to the point where a song will not be a good song until it has a high level of creativity in writing and performance. In other words, in order to be popular, songs will have to meet these high standards.

My singing, if you want to call it that is merely another medium of expression. Just an instrument I play. That's how I see my voice.

I try to swim every damn day I can, and I've learned to scuba dive and snorkel.

That is why we fly from the inner void, since God might steal into it. It is not the pursuit of pleasure and the aversion for effort which causes sin, but fear of God. We know that we cannot see him face to face without dying, and we do not want to die.

I love to travel to hear different kinds of music.
