There are people I would like to work with. Its a bit harder, because I live out in the sticks anyway, and plus being in a wheelchair means that I cant really circulate. So I tend to stick to my own thing.

What hurts people a lot is taking humiliation.

There's no field of music which doesn't have good ideas.

The cultural mix that's happened in the United States is wonderful! Funny enough, one of the most wonderful things about it is that there is no American race.

Anybody who thinks pop music's easy should try to make a pop single and find out that it isn't.

My heroes are people like Picasso and Miro and people who at last really reach something in their old age, which they absolutely couldn't ever have done in their youth.

What I like about popular culture is its accessibility, and I've covered popular songs because they are amazing things.
