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

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.

The music is everything to me.

There is always a point in the party where I wouldn't say I have people in the palm of my hands, but when there is a point in the evening... if you have been to any great party, you know when the whole room becomes one.

I'm a lot more sensitive about music, I think, than most other guys in this particular side of the business. Most of them are beat crazy and beat heavy. I'm more melody. I'm more musical than most of the other ones.

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.

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