Social justice has always been a part of my inspiration. For example, when the Vietnam War was going on, I wrote a song about that.

I've done a lot of things to become what I've become, out to create and establish a musical form and I call it movie.

I think we all have a role to play in life.

I grew up in a condition where I could have chosen to go either way, negatively or positively. So I kind of chose to go positive and that stayed with me through my life, always have to have a positive outlook on whatever situation there is

Look at what's happening with scientific things. They have discovered dark matter. They have discovered what is called the God Particle. All that is going to make religion obsolete. These are the things that are amazing, and it's an amazing time to be living in. It's a higher energy that we're going to be coming into.

It's important for me to go back into the ghetto, where I'm from. I still get my oxygen from there. I don't live in the ghetto but every time I go back, I'm seeing the same things that I lived. That's one of the things I mean when I say, "My feet back onto the ground."

I love to create and that's what gives my soul the satisfaction.
