It used to make me unhappy, all that feeling. I just didn't know what to do with it. But now I've learned how to make feeling work for me... I don't know, I just want to feel as much as I can, it's what 'soul' is all about.

Though we rush ahead to save our time, we are only what we feel.

Being an intellectual creates a lot of questions and no answers. You can fill your life up with ideas and still go home lonely. All you really have that really matters are feelings. That's what music is to me.

People hear the soul, black influence in my voice. I grew up listening to CKLW and all the black stations like WLBS.

One ought to hold on to one's heart; for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too.

Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings - always darker, emptier and simpler.
