Music has always had the ability to comfort and inspire.

Looking back, I think I tried to be too eclectic. Sometimes I'd sing thirty songs, and fifteen of them were not in English.

Work in nightclubs was interesting. There were interesting people and places, but by and large, the commercial music experience.

I keep reminding people that an editorial in rhyme is not a song. A good song makes you laugh, it makes you cry, it makes you think.

Honest songs aren`t written for money.

Get people to sing together and they'll act together too.

I tell kids, don't trust the media. The media with their emphasis on fame is helping to destroy this country, helping destroy the human race. It's the plug-in drug.
