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.

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 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.

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

The lack of quality dance music and the fact that here in the United States, house music is not seen as anything viable by the music industry. I figured that this might be another shot at the industry looking at the possibilities of house music and giving it a little bit more legitimacy than what they give it. It's a host of different things, but it's something that I needed to say musically.

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