Art is a continuum.

All artists have insecurity.

I'm quite an eclectic musician.

I don't really strain my voice.

I do a project, and then I move on.

As I got older, my voice got better.

Having a solo career is a funny thing.

I'm always interested in what fans think.

I've got a sense of humor. I'm a funny guy.

Success and failure are equally surprising.

I've been traveling around the world forever.

What I do isn't black music; it's just my music.

Who knows what the right time to get married is?

What I do isn't black music, it's just my music.

Reject what you don't want. Get rid of dead wood.

Traditionally, duos get accused of lots of things.

Nixon was the beginning of people not trusting politics.

I'm constantly on my toes and re-examining my own music.

I don't like showboating. I was never a fan of showing off.

The song 'Laughing Down Crying' is not a typical Daryl song.

I have an English family and I've lived in England for years.

Obscurity is just obscurity. There's no romance in obscurity.

Nobody's going to sell 10 million records by not working hard.

I'm a born collaborator. This is what I was born to do, really.

You don't have to be a good singer any more if you can rap well.

I never felt entitled to anything. I'm the hardest worker I know.

Chronic Lyme causes arthritis, heart problems, stroke - even death.

If you work hard and you're good, you can build something for yourself.

The younger generation gives me more respect than I could ever hope for.

Nobody really cares about what other people think anymore; they're all about themselves.

I've always been a guy who likes to stretch my limits - to find out if I have any, really.

I'm not a big fan of any video, especially my own. In a word, I hated the Hall & Oates videos.

I'm very enthused about everything. I have a lot to say and a lot of things I'm interested in.

The first thing I ever did was play talent shows at the Uptown Theater and the Adelphi Ballroom.

I have to say I have never been comfortable with somebody else telling me what to do - in any way.

Any song I don't feel good about, I shelve. Anything you ever hear me sing, it's because I want to.

Being at college, I think that's the time when you really start searching for things outside yourself.

I always say the same thing - believe in what you do, do it, and don't veer away from the truth of it.

My fan base is really expanding into an inter-generational thing - it's what every artist probably hopes for.

I'd like to see more crossover between white and black music. That's something I've been advocating for years.

The Daryls House thing has made me into a live musician even more than I ever was, and even in the way I record.
