Music is a unifying force.

Religion has become so many different things. Religion is an economic thing for some people. Religion is a gun.

Love is cheering and sharing and compassion, and giving and receiving. Love is an action thing more than a word thing, that brings comfort or joy, or relief to anyone or anything.

I think if I'm serious about affecting people with music, I have to affect people on a human to human level, not on a grand social idea or political idea, it has to be a human being idea so it has to be what's inside a human being.

I'm not a slave to the recording industry. I have the freedom to make an album that I want to make and do it the way I want.

I can feel my father's spirit within me. I can feel similarities within us from the artistic perspective from being a musician. We have a lot of similarities.

The idea of who my father is to me is very different than who he is to you, or to the rest of the world.
