I am still into the people I listened to growing up, so I completely remember what is like to be a fan, I haven't changed.
I am trying to get closer to God.
I'm definitely happy with everything I've done. I stand behind it. You'll always be saying, "Well, I could change that, or I would do that differently." But you have to let it be what it is.
I couldn't tell you what I am going to do next 'cause I have no idea, but I am open to anything.
The image that the public gets is whatever they perceive it to be. Everybody has an opinion, everybody has their own vision, so I don't know what my public image is. I have no idea.
That's a big gift when people say to you that a song helped them or brought them to some place in their life where they needed to be.
There are so many people that don't believe in themselves and don't have faith.
The story that I wanna tell is pretty much about the way I grew up. Being bi-racial, growing up in a big city and being an artist.
I knew what I wanted to do from the time I was 5.
The thing I love about acting is that it's got nothing to do with me; it's about bringing forth a director's vision. It's like a release. I'm glad it's come back into my life.
I wanted to make something that sounded very pure, organic, and personal. I wanted to make music that was timeless.
The image is an image.
I wouldn't play together with someone who likes to control everything like me.
Jimi Hendrix was just so fluid. His hands were connected to his soul, you know? His playing was just so emotional. You could feel the fire, you could feel the blues. You could feel the sadness. It's unbelievable.
