I think musicians should stay off television generally.

Life is all about toiling and labor. But obviously I get great joy in confronting challenge and taking risk.

I still describe myself as a Christian, and my love of God and my relationship with God is fundamental, but its manifestations in my life and the practices of it are constantly changing. I find incredible freedom in my faith.

All the time we spent in bed, counting miles before we said, fall in love and fall apart, things will end before they start.

The music is the imperative. It has the upper hand. I think all music, even though it's an abstraction, does motivate a particular meaning. Then it's the job of the musician to honor that meaning and to somehow implement lyrical material that can accommodate that emotional environment.

One of my strongest memories is my father playing bongos in the living room in Detroit listening to Motown radio. He was this skinny white bald guy, but he was really moved by blues and Motown and funk.

Art is... a reflection of a greater divine creation. There really is no separation.
