I'm albino, my family is white, but I was really raised, and taught my important life lessons, by the black community.

If you don't believe inside yourself that you can learn a lot, nobody's ever going to do that for you. Nobody's ever gonna give you self drive. Nobody's ever gonna give you self esteem. Nobody's ever gonna give you your self worth. You have to set it for yourself.

Blind in the eye, so I see you with my heart

Strategies are great, business models are great, but the reality is your music has to mean something to people.

Nowadays I embrace it all/Beautiful ideals and amazing flaws.

The kids now are more productive than we ever were; they're a lot more prolific and productive in the sense that they have to have music out all the time.

The key is always the actual art itself, the actual music. There are all these myths out here that like, if you do this little trick, if you use this little strategy, it'll do it for you.
