Age and numbers are a concept made up by man.

Every morning I wake up and thank God.

There are so many songs in my heart and in my brain. I wake up at 2 in the morning, and I have to get up and sing them. There are so many of them, it's ridiculous.

I dig Steve Harvey: he's the suit man. I be checking him out.

I worked with the Neville Brothers for 40-some years on the highway, and up and down since I can remember - funk from New Orleans.

I grew up singing Ray Charles and Jimmy Reed.
