The minute you think you're greater than the music, you're finished

The first job I got when I was in high school was working for a department store in New York. I worked in the stockroom. That's when I learned that I couldn't work for anyone else, because I was spoken to in a way that I wasn't spoken to at home.

The minute you think you're greater than the music, you're finished

I'm of the mind that your private life is private and you don't need to put everything out there about yourself - but on there, I describe myself as a citizen of the world, a man of music.

I believe it also says that I am a friend to everyone and enemy to no one.

I learned to trust women's ears when it comes to hearing music a lot more than other men.

Timing is everything. It is not so much about who you know, especially now with the Internet, because anybody can become a superstar overnight.
