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

It took me 36 years to be able to be by myself and like it.

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

I always make music that is true to my spirit.

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.

Silence is refreshment for the soul.

I never took a music lesson in my life, it just came naturally.
