Soul Music Is Timeless.

I Think What Happens In The World, And I Think It's Part Human Nature And Part Programming, Is We Become An Emulation Of What We See. We Become Clones Of Each Other.

When I Was Younger, Studying Classical Music, I Really Had To Put In The Time. Three Hours A Day Is Not Even Nice - You Have To Put In Six.

When I Was First Learning Songs, I'd Have A Favorite Song, And I'd Take The Chords And Twist Them Around. I'd Learn The Chords And Then Play Them Backward. That Was My First Experimenting With Writing A Song.

Early On In My Career, I Was More Closed Off In Every Way. I Thought I Was Protecting Myself; Instead, I Was Robbing Myself Of All I Could Learn And Experience.

Sometimes I've Gotten Photographs Back And People Have Literally Shaven Off Pieces Of Me, And I Tell Them To Put It Back.
