If you listen to people talk when people actually talk, they talk in melodies. If they get angry, their voice rises, and it's more of a staccato thing. When they ask for something, they're real sweet. It's all music.

People think I'm an ogre at times. Some girls hissed at me in the street...'You devil.' They think we're really nasty. But that's only on stage. Off stage, well I'm certainly not an ogre.

If I'm gonna tell a real story, I'm gonna start with my name.

Music itself was color-blind but the media and the radio stations segregate it based on their perceptions of the artists.

Life's too short to drink crappy coffee and cry over boys who don't care.

Rather than starting inside, I start outside and reach the mental through the physical.
