When I began making my own albums, the songs became funkier. They were more about the streets.

You have underestimated my power, as you will shortly discover.

Faith is an island in the setting sun, But proof is the bottom line for everyone.

I didn't get how big it was until I went home, turned on the television and saw it on all the news, and later that night on the front pages of all the newspapers. Then I got it.

A man walks down the street. It's a street in a strange world. Maybe it's the third world. Maybe it's his first time around. He doesn't speak the language. He holds no currency. He is a foreign man. He is surrounded by the sound, sound of cattle in the marketplace, scatterlings and orphanages. He looks around, around he sees angels in the architecture spinning in infinity and he says, "Amen" and "Hallelujah!

My whole artistic life has always been about change, change, change, move on, move on. It's the only thing I find interesting.

Improvisation is too good to leave to chance.
