I'm always honest, whether I'm in the limelight or not.

I have gotten into a lot of trouble in my life for being brutally honest. Sometimes I put both my feet in my mouth. But like Elton John, I'm still standing.

I'm the voice of honesty.

I'd much rather have the honesty than not. Because if you will say what's on your mind and get it off your chest, then the sooner I can prove you wrong!

I am an honest artist.

I try to stick with things that I can sing with honesty.

I have built my reputation on honesty, I have sometimes been too honest.

I'm always going for truth and honesty.

I love the pioneers like Sam Cooke and Otis Redding, but when I write music, it comes out in my own way.

I try to be as honest as I possibly can about the contradictions within my own heart and thereby get to something 'true' and revealing and important about contemporary American culture and human nature.
