Disco deserved a better name, a beautiful name because it was a beautiful art form. It made the consumer beautiful. The consumer was the star.

I didn't mind working in the clubs, but I resented it being a club where pimps hang out. Because the music that I create is of a higher intellect than that. It not only encompasses pimps, but whores, ballplayers, executives... everybody.

When I commit, I commit with my whole heart, my whole being. I know the Bible like the back of my hand.

When I saw corruption, I was forced to find truth on my own. I couldn't swallow the hypocrisy.

Leave me alone. I'm fine.

Everyone to me has to pick a subject to talk about in music if you're going to be a writer.

I don't know if it's my music, my lyrics, my sound and knowing the music business the way I do - all I can say is, my career has lasted way longer than I expected.
