I am most proud that I stayed true to the music of my soul.

If I can make a connection, one connection, to any one listener in the world, I consider that successful.

To all the dreamers out there, don't give up on your dreams.

I am a fan of today's sound as long as we don't get too slick, and yet I am very reverent of my roots.

The love of these people and of my fans mean more than any award or special accomplishment.

Most of us are imprisoned by something. We're living in darkness until something flips on the switch.

You'll be surprised how much better you feel about the world when you feel better about your self.
