What makes my approach special is that I do different things. I do jazz, blues, country music and so forth. I do them all, like a good utility man.

There's nothing written in the Bible, Old or New testament, that says, 'If you believe in Me, you ain't going to have no troubles.'

Do it right or don't do it at all. That comes from my mom. If there's something I want to do, I'm one of those people that won't be satisfied until I get it done. If I'm trying to sing something and I can't get it, I'm going to keep at it until I get where I want it.

I really feel that if you're gonna be good, you gotta practice... Practice whatever the hell you do.

Dreams, if they're any good, are always a little bit crazy.

I don't think any of us really knows why we're here. But I think we're supposed to believe we're here for a purpose.

Even though I'm not Jewish...Israel is one of the few causes I feel good about supporting.
