You Gotta Love And Learn And Learn

Remember The Stax Label And How If You Liked One Record, You Liked All The Others As Well? You Don't Talk To A Lot Of People Who Tell You How Much They Love Their Record Label. I Don't Care How Many Records They Sell.

I'm A Kid Who Grew Up In An All African-american Neighborhood And Got Into Schools And Aspired To Just Be Me, And Didn't Worry About Labels Or Anything. Just Wanted To Be A Success At What I Did.

It Was Important To Me To Find A Label That Wouldn't Back Out After A First Single. Everyone's So Used To Hearing Me With Hootie, They're Going To Be Skeptical.

You Gotta Love And Learn And Learn To Live.

I Think People Who Go Out And Tell You How Much They're Gonna Change Things Are The People Who End Up Being Just Another Whatever. I'm Never Trying To Change Anything. That's Not For Me.
