If I'm going to be a jazz player, I need to understand Miles Davis.

When I was younger I never drank. I never drank, I never did any weed or drugs or anything because I felt it would compromise my position. I was an orphan, and I had a feeling like if I ever hit the ground I may never get back up.

I'm a big Brad Pitt fan. He's really talented. I think a lot of men are intimidated by him, saying he's just a pretty boy or whatever, but he is a bad man. I think he can act.

I've been in crime for a long time and I know that the actual move isn't the actual crime: the crime continues [afterwards].

One of the things about powerful people is they have the ability to make it look easy.

I was doing the wrong thing, at the time I thought I was doing the right thing. It's like if you're dealing with somebody who is high on drugs, they can look back at it and say, "Wow, I was destroying myself." But during the period, they think they're doing the right thing. You just have to let the smoke clear so you can see the whole picture.

I'm afraid because some police are way out of control. My true feeling with police is this: If they do their job, there's no problem.
