I'm inspired to do music. I really can't stop unless I stop being inspired.

I am a leader. Leaders always get heat. They're always going against the grain. Jimi Hendrix got heat; Bob Marley got heat; Miles Davis got heat. Every great artist got heat. Heat means you're doing something right.

I'm a spiritual musician, I think there has been enough political musicians and I think everything that can be said has been said about political, social things, you know, and there's still some more to be said but not much.

Everything is connected. There is nothing that is not connected.

The music I do is food... that will be your dinner.

It's that kind of in-born music thing - I could pick up the guitar and play something. It's not something I consciously do.

Music is one of the most essential things in life. It is what teaches us.
