I want the good life, but I don't want an easy ride. What I want is to work for it, feel the blood and sweat on my fingertips.
People hear the soul, black influence in my voice. I grew up listening to CKLW and all the black stations like WLBS.
I know where beauty lives, I've seen it once, I know the warmth she gives.
I must confess that I am usually drawn to sadness, and loneliness has never been a stranger to me. But love tried to welcome me, but my soul drew back, guilty of lust and sin.
I was never satisfied with casual encounters, I can't hide my need for two hearts that bleed with burning love.
Let love shine and we will find a way to come together.
Freedom comes when you learn to let go, creation comes when you learn to say 'no'.
It takes more strength to cry, admit defeat. I have truth on my side, you only have deceit.
Don't go for second best. Put your love to the test.
Music makes the people come together.
Power without guilt, love without doubt.
We're smart enough to make these millions, strong enough to bare the children, then get back to business.
Diva is a female version of a hustler.
Always stay gracious, best revenge is your paper.
I wanted to be famous for my music and my talent, and I always wished I could cut it out when I left the stage.
I discovered after going to music festivals that I am a rock fan. I love the guitars, the phrasing, and the abandon of rock fans.
One of the reasons I connect to the Super Bowl is that I approach my shows like an athlete.
In my videos, I always want to be a powerful woman. That's my mission.
My goals are - I don't need much. I'm a simple man. I think that success is having fun. And when I'm having fun doing music, I'm happy. If I can make a little money on the side doing it, I'm really happy.
Music is not math. It's science. You keep mixing the stuff up until it blows up on you, or it becomes this incredible potion.
