I know a lot of people that don't pray or anything, and that's fine - but I need to. I don't even want to call it prayer, I just want to call it talking to something bigger than me.

I try to write down every song that comes to me, even though I know that every song that comes to me isnt a song that I need to sing.

I dont marry bandmates just to go marrying bandmates.

I've always kind of been in the middle of every room, trying to get people together, no matter what color they were.

I'm grateful that music has been a place where I've found freedom.

I feel a lot of cities are like, you go and you are trying to do your art, and there are so many other artists there who are so brilliant. And it's kind of like they stomp on the scene, and they are like, "You're not already Picasso? Get the hell out of here!" And Memphis is like, "Well, you'll get there one day!"

Whatever people are doing, they're probably going to be doing it five years from now. You have your banker, your general store runner, the principal of the school, and things of that sort. It's nice to see that, and to get old with other people.
