I'm going to go with ZZ Top -- they're my faves . . . because of the whole thing that they do with the guitars and the old Father Time beards.

I really try to wake up with my music the same as I do with my life, and that is with no expectations. I just feel what I feel that day and follow it.

Growing up, I loved Bill Cosby.

I don't like labels, but I do have blue eyes and I'm soulful, so what am I going to do?

I'm trying to create the world around myself to be a place of as much equality and openheartedness as possible.

Bob Dylan and John Lennon and Bruce Springsteen, these are soul guys. Bruce Springsteen might not sing like Otis Redding, but he sings with white soul. He's singing and he's writing songs from the bottom of his gut.

I never used to tell jokes on stage. Now I'm cutting up jokes all night long.
