I may never get my own action figure, but at least I think what I'm doing is really legitimate musically

I think listening to real classic soul material made me learn how to feel music that's sung

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately. All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind. I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I've got to do or who I'm supposed to be. I don't want to be anything other than me.

I think it's important as a player every now and again to play something that's influenced you as an artist just to expose the people to it.
