    • I just do what i do and hope it's accepted by the public at large. it's different from when marvin gaye and stevie revolutionized what music was 25 years ago. now there's all this technology that's available to everyone. it's tough to be ahead of anyone.

    As i've gotten older, now i've really got to back that up with record sales. anytime showed me that i could still have some of those elements i wanted, but you still have to come with hit after hit after hit.

    I kinda went back to that period between '88 and '94 where i felt like i was the most creative, without being hindered by powers that be. i was no longer going to try to hinder myself to what i thought was going to be on the radio.

    I am a writer - that is what i am before being a performer or musician. i love waking up in the morning and then going to sleep that night with something that did not exist.
