My music has shaken hands with the world somehow - it's a beautiful disease, and I'm glad I got it.

When I was performing on streets, there was no pressure. People accepted me. They loved me without knowing me.

Not only did I get an A in music but I got an A in ladies.

I just want to touch your soul, let me pour into you. Fill you with my joy, and make you feel brand new.

When I think of musical geniuses, I think of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson and Prince. That's who comes to mind.

Take away the In God We Trust, tell me what the hell is wrong with us.

My fans have always loved my metaphors.
