The real thing is the heart, you know the heart shouldn't be covered with concrete.

A lot of the post-1977 dancefloor disco sounds had their place at one time, but you can't bring them back unless you bring back a floor.

Rappers should just be able to perform what they create and satisfy the people that like and love them.

Don't anoint me when you can anoint yourself.

Some artists are told what to like and told definitions of what the music business is. That's a problem. Music is artistry, and you want your music heard, your act known. But artists don't know. They are ignorant the minute they sign a contract.

Find like-minded people and try not to be individualized to the point where you try to fight it all and think about it all on your own.

When somebody greedily comes along and thinks that they gonna snatch everything, and you have so many people that have not, the passion that drives me is trying to make them understand that they have to share. So, my art reflects that; the whole reason I do what I do reflects that.
