I've got love in my life, as well as trouble and strife.

Any artist is an instrument-and that's exactly why you can't do it all the time. You can only do it when it's happening, when it's coming through. No matter how much you may want to do it, if it's not happening then it's simply not happening.

You can put out an album and it could be totally out of the window as far as what you want to do performance-wise.

I just can't stand jazz/rock. I think it's the worst thing that's come down the river yet.

You've got to separate the singer and the songs.

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.

The media is going to stick a label on records. And the public is going to pick it up from that. And that's what I was getting sick of-the whole analyzation thing.
