Act your age, not your shoe size.

Time is a mind construct. It's not real.

There's always a rainbow at the end of every rain.

Compassion is an action word with no boundaries.

All these non-singing, non-dancing, wish-I-had-me-some-clothes fools who tell me my albums suck. Why should I pay any attention to them?

When you don't talk down to your audience, then they can grow with you. I give them a lot of credit to be able to hang with me this long, because I've gone through a lot of changes, but they've allowed me to grow, and thus we can tackle some serious subjects and try to just be better human beings, all of us.

Like books and black lives - albums still matter. Tonight and always.
