Going out is such a hassle. The singles club scene where you sit down, talk, get to know each other, hang out-it's such a big ordeal.

I started promoting clubs when I was 15. 1 was doing what is considered the normal collegiate stuff when I was a lot younger. I was holding my own, but doing a lot of crazy things.

James Brown was one of the first artists who found four bars that he liked and played them the entire way through, and then he just added to it vocally.

If somebody doesn't have enough judgment to be able to look at plastic surgery and realize how phony it is, then they can't be helped.

I can't just sit around and do nothing. Although, I can sit on the couch sometimes and just watch movies.

The worst thing you can do is to put your life aside for someone else.

I'm sometimes critical about other artists who come out with something different until maybe I hear the music. If the music is there, then they did their job, and I'll enjoy the CD.
