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

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

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

When you create something out of nothing it's the most thrilling thing.

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.

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

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.
