"I heard the Beatles and the Stones, and Mom bought me an electric guitar. I played lead for four years and then switched to bass. One day someone suggested that I should sing, so I sheepishly stepped up to the microphone and the rest is rock history."
"I thank God for his many blessings he has given me, but money and prestige are not what it's about. I seek spiritual progression."

"Listen to your inner-voice: Surround yourself with loving, nurturing people. Fall in love with your art and find yourself. Music is the great communicator."
"I think I'm better than I was in my younger days, because I'm exploring deep lyrical material, and I've been sober for a while now."
"When I sing, I pick out people in the audience and pinpoint on them. So if you feel that I am singing just for you, you may be right!"
"Playin' bass runs and singin' lead vox, is sometimes difficult, but I have three words for you: Practice, practice, practice!"
"I love the art form of songwriting. I get to carry a lot of vibes to a lot of people. My songs are all about the human condition, and people will be able to find themselves in my songs."
