I don't think about the styles. I write whatever comes out and I use whatever kind of instrumentation works for those songs.

So that's why you've got to try, you got to breath and have some fun. Though I'm not paid, I play this game, and I won't stop until I'm done. But what I really want to know is - Are you gonna go my way?

You're never promised your next breath.

It's a good time for me to pursue acting, I suppose since I'm enjoying having another medium in which to express myself. I've been getting a great response to my work.

If you listen to a lot of old funk records, the drums are really small. But you don't perceive it like that because the groove is so heavy.

When I was a kid and I bought a record, I ripped that thing open, I wanted to know who was playing what, what studio it was cut at, who was the string arranger, who was the engineer.

I knew what I wanted to do from the time I was 5.
