You take everything I've made the last 16 years. I'll take my freedom.

I never had that thing about being black. If the whole world was like that, maybe there would be more harmony and love.

I believe in prayer and in strong belief.

I want to breathe in the Spiritual.

On the third day in India, I realized people were not suffering as much as I thought.

I think there are people that still hold on that like Heavy Metal like a bit of what is going on now, but it isn't all of what they love and which goes on and it's the same with me... There's still a lot of Ray Charles, Sam Cooke songs that I still happen to like a lot, but then there are a lot of Madonna and... a lot of the female singers that I like as well, but it's like liking it with different emotions, you know.

I'm not wise, but the beginning of wisdom is there; it's like relaxing into - and an acceptance of - things.
