I think people think they're not brave if they're frightened, and that's not true at all.

There is a God. God exists.

When I sing, it's the most solitary state: just me, and the microphone, and the holy spirit. It's not about notes or scales, it's all about emotion.

I don't believe in any kind of artistic snobbery or musical snobbery. You know, to me, the sexiest and the most spiritual words ever uttered in rock and roll are wop babaloo balop bam boom.

What I like about being a musician is that I find the thing soothing, but I also give the soothing to other people.

People always complain, 'you never invited me to your wedding', but I prefer casual weddings.

God is something that needs rescuing from religion.
