I've always been interested in any kind of great music, and African music is, I think, the source of it all.

It's what's missing, I think, from most music - the rebellious part. That rebelliousness is part of great rock music or great literature or any great creative stuff.

I think I've been a great citizen.

When I'm singing, it's like I'm at home. And music is a great healer. I think I'd have been a basket case if I hadn't been a singer.

I think Don Cheadle has always done great work.

To me, country music has always been the home for a great song.
