I learned something from that. If someone asks me something that I really don't want to do, I say no. I have to trust that. And I'm not afraid to talk money.

I just appreciate still having the longevity that I've had in my career.

I really don't think that Detroit was any different than New York of Boston or Philadelphia. Kids always wanted to listen to music outside because that's where they hung out with their friends.

I have never gotten into the label thing.

I look forward to the future - and going into the studio to make new music.

If I have someone who believes in me, I can move mountains.

Instead of looking at the past, I put myself ahead twenty years and try to look at what I need to do now in order to get there then.
