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'd like to collaborate with Jay-Z and Mary J. Blige.

Entertain the people. Give them something they're not ready for, make them talk.

Women and their bodies are beautiful. Men are always gonna want to follow them around.

You have to give love to get love.

Some people go to college. For me I studied music my whole life. That was my college.

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.
