I want someone who is open-minded, dedicated to whatever she is doing and isn't afraid to say I love you. As for looks, she shouldn't have three heads. I want a regular human being.

The belief that we are what the media says we are, what people perceive we are, is soon to be what we think we are. We are treated based on this warped perception. It is hard to get away from it.

Sometimes I wonder if I got lulled into not wanting things because I grew up black in this country.

In most places that are rich in guitar culture, everyone uses their fingers, like in Spain or Africa. In Japan there are string instruments played that way. It is not until you get in the States that you find people using picks.

My love life doesn't stink; it's nonexistent.

The worst part is doubt. When you doubt yourself, which we are taught to do, you get lost.

Hard work is what keeps the ship moving.
