At a certain point, I got used to writing on demand. I developed a habit of writing like I hired myself! I also like to write about things that affect me emotionally.

I really like world music. I used to think it was simple but it's far from that.

I throw down a lot on paper and on tape. Sometimes while I'm practicing on the guitar, I'll think of a song.

Many of the African musicians are well-schooled and well-versed...what they do takes a high level of musicianship.

Everybody can perform, there are so many outlets. Musicians are no longer limited. In the past, the record companies made most of the money. I for one am not sorry to see them fade away.

Most true musicians don't do it for the money, they do it because they love it. When I did slam poetry, it was a great way for me to express myself, I loved it.

Don't expect to make a living on it. Be able to hammer a nail or do retail, doing your music on the side!

You light the Spark in my Bonfire Heart.

A platform without the Holy Spirit is like land without a spring. If we gain our Promise Land without Living Water, it will become desolate.

I think musicians like me are drawn to those older desks, not just because they're legend and lore but also because they do something really specific that is hard to emulate or re-create digitally.

Anyone who is aware of his environment knows that the peril of physical assault does exist, and that it exists everywhere and at all times.

Fear has its use, but cowardice has none. I may not put my finger into the jaws of a snake, but the very sight of the snake need not strike terror into me.

There is nowhere in the four Gospels where Jesus uses the word 'homosexual.'

You try to be good, to be good and loving and nice and not hard, not tough, a sweet nice girl, not ugly, not full of ugliness, but people make it impossible.

There was a time when I had all the answers. My real growth began when I discovered that the questions to which I had the answers were not the important questions.

That was my childhood. I grew up with the monks, studying Sanskrit and meditating for hours in the morning and hours in the evening, and going once a day to beg for food.
