What was happening with me, with the album [A Period of Transition], with the people who took the pictures, the record company, everything, getting a new manager [Harvey Goldsmith]-it was all saying a period of transition to me so that was the title choice. It says what it is and obviously nobody is going to analyze that. It's exactly what it is.

These days politics, religion, media seem to get all mixed up. Television became the new religion a long time back and the media has taken over.

You can't stop us on the road to freedom, you can't stop us cause our eyes can see.

Joyous Sound evolved from a gospel influence. Actually it evolved out of sitting at a piano and just picking out a riff, a gospel type riff. It just seemed to come joyously-something about the song, about living in another place of joyous sounds. I'm not quite sure-that's one I'm trying to analyze. It just came out.

It's real difficult to pin down directions. I just want to do collaboration-tape stuff.

I find it extremely difficult talking about my songs because there's so many different things that can make a song come together.
