It's not easy staying relevant in the marketplace.

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

I think dancing is one of the best things anyone can do for themselves. And it doesn't cost anything.

I used to tell myself when I was much younger that I didn't want to wake up one day and be 32 years old and still playing records. It's just not going to happen. Well, the joke is on me, because I'm 56 years old now.

I am definitely in the right place doing the right thing. These are the rewards.

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.

I refused to be disrespected. So, at 16, of course, I was a gentleman about it, but I told them and it cost me my job.
