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.

A friend of mine that happened to be a DJ at another club actually offered me a job [as a DJ]. I didn't think I could do it but he said, "You know all the music. You are at all the parties, and everybody knows you."

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

I'm always looking for just the right song that has something to say.

I think women's ears are a lot more sensitive. Men are going to follow whatever appeals to women.

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

There are two people that probably influenced me more than anybody out of all the artists out here: that's Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson.
