We mainly focus on putting music, art, dance, theater, all forms of art, back into the community, so the community can put it into the world.

I love watching Rihanna in fashion. I like to see her take chances and risks. I like seeing Naomi Campbell in the forefront. They're both women who stand out and use their bodies as canvases to introduce this functional art to the world. They carry it in a way that is very inspiring.

I started performing at two or three on a tape recorder, one of those little flat recorders where you just push play and record.

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.

Marvin Gaye is one of my favorite revolutionaries. He spoke from his heart, his mind. That's what I want to do.

The music business is motivated by money. Music is motivated by energy and feelings.

My girls are very fashionable. They have a very good eye for marrying style and fashion.
