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! ”

I'm not driven by the mighty dollar. ”

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. ”

I joke to people in the press that I realize I'm not black, I'm actually white. But I've got these roots in black American music. I love it. ”

Playin' bass runs and singin' lead vox, is sometimes difficult, but I have three words for you: Practice, practice, practice! ”

A lot of other bass players have told me I'm the only bass player who plays with a pick but sounds like he's playing with the thumb and fingers, which is a great compliment. ”

When I embraced the rock hat, when I put it on two or three years ago, when I realized I'm gonna go and make really focused rock albums, it felt like wearing an old shoe. It was a perfect fit. ”

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 was very famous as a young man and I celebrated both the good and bad times with drinking. ”

Am I the man who killed Deep Purple? I don't think so. I think every band from that era, even if you look at Led Zeppelin, if you look at their first four albums, they're extremely different from one another, and I've never made the same album twice. ”
