It's not my business to raise anybody else's kids. Mom and Dad got to do all that.

There's a lot of money in doing score music. You can get a chance to get nominated for an Oscar.

I love making music. I never stop. I want to keep it moving forward. I like to go into the studio and make hits. It makes me feel good.

I just make the music, and people have the say. When I'm making songs, I never call them hits.

You never know what's gonna be a hit.

As a musician, you write and make music as you go. It's definitely in a great sequence. When you release songs, you think, "Let me make sure this goes with this so it's like a story."

What I live and do is music. When I'm not doing that, I'm just kicking back, watching my stocks and bonds and checks coming in the mailbox. I really don't have anything else I do. I may go to a movie or something. It's just family time and things like that.
