I dont have aluminum foil on my windows anymore.

I decided to build up my band in Buffalo because Buffalo was where I had originally built up my own musical strength.

You can't outdo 'Street Songs' and I didn’t even try. [It] had that special magic that comes with timing and good vibrations and you can't even try to capture that exactly again.

I wanted to play the Apollo Theater because I didn't think I was going to be on the earth long.

I didn't even think I would make it that long. I thought I would drug overdose, like Jimi Hendrix. I thank God every day to even be here.

I went to India, lived, and studied.

I was angry about the fact that my father would beat my mother on a daily basis, that my mother would like take it in turn and beat on me. I was an abused child. I was mad about all those things, very bitter and very angry.
