Walking in the dark, seeing lovers do their thing. That's the time, I feel like making love to you.

Music comes first from my heart, and then goes upstairs to my head where I check it out.

Music is an art form that doesn't need to be explained. It needs to be performed; it needs to be felt; it needs to be listened to; it needs to progress.

My hope is that out of all the anger and seeming hostility that we hear in some of today's music will come some sort of coalition that will become politically involved.

As musicians, and as people who sell material for people to hear and absorb, it's important that we use that voice wisely.

I didn't know how well my first album had done; it was enough to get me to do the second album, which was a continuation of the music I'd worked on and perfected.

So see every opportunity as golden, and keep your eyes on the prize - yours, not anybody else's.
