I was hopeless, now I'm on Hope Road.

Think black love, think universal love. Just think love.

I consider myself a crayon... I may not be your favorite color but one day you'll need me to complete your picture.

See fantasy is what people want, but reality is what they need. And I just retired from the fantasy part.

Everybody has a choice. I am not here to shove my light down everybody's throat. For those who don't want it, I have nothing to defend.

I don't need anybody to market or promote me. If people don't want to hear this music, then it's not for them. You cannot please everybody.

I'm making music for other people to listen to for pleasure. And hopefully, later on maybe they'll listen to it and go, "That bass line, boy, did you hear the way those drums interacted with that?"
