We're beginning to play God and get into cloning. We give up quickly. Divorce is an easy option. So why not just create your own mate? Synthesize a human being. You get tired of it, turn it off and put it in the closet like the vacuum cleaner.

A dramatic thing, the first time you stand up to your dad.

The loyalty rate isn't that high. I could have a big hit, then put out the next single, and they say, Oh yeah, who are you? Prove it again.

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.

After listening to "Machine Gun" I have to take a nap.

Keeping grounded and keeping focused and keeping calm and thankful, that comes from God.
