When I Was Going Blind, I Didn't Turn To God. It Didn't Seem To Me Then - And It Doesn't Seem To Me Now - That Those Items Were His Concern. Early On, I Figured I Better Begin To Learn How To Count On Myself, Instead Of Counting On Supernatural Forces.

I'm A Firm Believer In God Himself, But That's As Far As I Can Go. I'm Not Any Denomination. I'm Not Catholic Or Presbyterian Or Baptist Or Methodist Or Jewish Or Muslim. I'm None Of Those Things. And I'm Sure That's Just Fine With God.

I Never Considered Myself Part Of Rock 'n' Roll. My Stuff Was More Adult. It Was More Difficult For Teenagers To Relate To; My Stuff Was Filled With More Despair Than Anything You'd Associate With Rock 'n' Roll. Since I Couldn't See People Dancing, I Didn't Write Jitterbugs Or Twists. I Wrote Rhythms That Moved Me. My Style Requires Pure Heart Singing.
