“My first two albums, 'Silverbird and 'Just a Boy,' which had the single 'Long Tall Glasses' on it, were very well received. Then I did another one, 'Another Year,' which did miserably.”

“I've found an extraordinary thing happens where I flash an entire finished song. I could be walking along, say over that bridge, and I see and hear the whole thing, words and music.”

“That's the nature of the business. You can have a hit and then nothing happens all of a sudden. But I don't resent it. Hits don't make great artists.”

“Guru always titled the Gang Starr albums. But once it came to 'Hard to Earn,' he wanted me to title it.”

“I'll always have songs with a farm connotation on my albums. It's in the fabric of my music, and I plan to keep it that way.”

“I was in the band for the first six albums.”
