Past a certain point, the music is no longer mine. It's yours.

Beyond a certain point, the music isn't mine anymore. It's yours.

Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

Music is business, you must fight for your right, and you've got to use your head.

I needed to sing because nobody else was singing my songs.

Doing music on your own is not easy especially creating your own support system.

To understand what music has to be, you have to live for music. Who's ready to do that?

I think it's important, if you are an artist, to use your music to stand up for what you believe in…That's what everyone should do with their lives…stand up for what they believe in, or try to do some good in the world. I don't think artists have a greater responsibility than anyone else.
