I am up there onstage alone with that guitar. I don't have to consider no one else and whether they are comfortable. I need very little.

If I can't take five years out to serve my country as president, then everything I've been singing about, like equal rights, doesn't mean anything.

When I lose touch with the audience and the reality of what life really is, I'll be Vanilla Ice or something.

It was important that I became successful. People say they do it for the love, and yes, you do it for the love, but you want to be successful.

I've known Clinton for probably the last year that he was in office and stuff. The vibe that I always got from Clinton was, you-know, he never gave me a president-vibe.

As long as I remember that the glory is His and not my own. When I confuse that, I get in trouble. We think that we glorify ourselves, and the object is to glorify God first, and in doing that you become glorified, you get glorified.
