When people are going on to the next plateau of whatever this thing is called life, I also want them to breathe easily, even if it's the last one they take here with us. I guess I'm the welcoming committee and ushering committee.

I try to be honest and I keep moving.

Man, I don't want to have nothing to do with computers. I don't want the government in my business.

The light always shows on the outside if you are striving to be good on the inside.

We were all born, and we all came to the music business with everything we had. Some of us just don't get a chance. Now there's a lot of other people like myself, indeed, who are getting heard worldwide. That gives other artists a chance.

I'm only in competition with my last level. It don't have nothing to do with music or anything. And the last level is hard competition, the last place you were.

If you want to relate to a certain audience or generation, you have to speak their language. I truly believe that.
