You put a song on the record or on tape and you stop singing it. You just don't sit around and sing it anymore unless you're performing. That's kind of sad.

When I was younger, I had big visions of changing the world.

When CD technology first came out, it was just so much waste.

When I used to play nightclubs, you had to play Top 40 or favorite oldies that maybe people could relate to.

The pressures, I don't really like to think about the pressures, I like to solve them, you know what I mean. I could sit here and complain about pressures but nobody wants to hear about pressures.

I love to play; a stage is a safe place for me to be. It's not that way for most folks, but I'd be lost without it.

I grew up not far from where Motown was founded, maybe 300 miles from Detroit and I've always liked - I used to like the way they made records. I still do, I just haven't had a chance to hear as much. They used to entertain me.
