You have to give love to get love.

My gift and my curse is that I really want to be loved. What drives me to make music is love - whether it's shallow or deep or whatever. I want to do things that make people love me.

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.

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

Growing up, I loved Bill Cosby.

Being critical is not something I like to do. I like to appreciate and inspire.

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