I always considered myself being an organizer. I'm very good at teaching singers, I'm very good at staging a show, to entertain people. But I never included myself. I never applied this to me as an artist.

They'll probably start working on my movie sometime... They are doing a complete movie of my life story. It will not be based on any negativity. It will be more about my life, from a kid, how I came up and why I came through.

Stay in school, stay off drugs, don't make the same mistakes I did, respect yourself, and others will follow.

I miss riding those fast trains in Japan... 'cause I'd never seen a train that fast in my life.

I believe I was ahead of my time.

I'm just beginning to develop callouses on my fingers, because I haven't played a lot.

The music I listened to when I was a kid was Sonny Boy Williams and Pinetop Perkins. He was the one who had the most influence on my playing. I saw him through a window playing piano and I thought it was unbelievable somebody could move their fingers that fast. And this is how I got interested in piano.
