I try not to repeat myself. It's the hardest thing in the world to do -- there are only so many notes one human being can master. .

I don't really care so much what people say about me because it usually is a reflection of who they are. For example, if people wish I would sound like I used to sound, then it says more about them than it does me.

Every day I feel is a blessing from God. And I consider it a new beginning. Yeah, everything is beautiful.

When I'm writing [songs], some days the pen just goes. I'm not in charge and I'm almost listening outside of it. That's when I realize that we all have to start looking at life as a gift. It's like listening to a color and believing that these colors have soul mates and once you get them all together the painting is complete.

Ownership, that's what you give your kids. That's your legacy.
