Youth. The fact that, in the mid-'90s, guys like Lee Fields gave me and all these young people the chance to do backup. I was in my 30s, but some of those guys were still teenagers. Others were 22 and 23 - babies, all of them.

I've got to find local farmers and get natural foods.

Record designers marvel on that stuff. They go back and look at old covers, then make new ones.

Play with me and you play with fire.

Everything I've done and everything I've gained in my life has been with my music.

I really can't wait to dance with Ellen DeGeneres!

When I got sick this past summer, I couldn't - my mind just wasn't on music. The rest of the band understood. But once October came, I felt ready to get back again.
