The biggest compliment I get is that I don't sound like anybody else. I think I value that as the highest compliment.

I don't think of my music in terms of a career. I just want to get it out there and do it. I'm not manipulating my sound to be like anybody or trying to write to sound like anybody else.

I'm human, just like anybody else.

If I fall, I fall. I'll rise up like anybody else.

What anybody else thinks about you is really of no consequence. It's what you think of yourself.

Jesse Stone did more to develop the basic rock-and-roll sound than anybody else.
