I found it a really refreshing change of pace to suddenly be completely directed. It was a type of collaboration that I don't normally have.

There's certain things in life that I love. One is architecture. And music, culture, food, people. New Orleans has all of that.

I don't like to approach people that much. There's been times when I wanted to say something to somebody, in a quick moment, but didn't. Then you think, man, who knows?

I'm more hungry now than I was 11 years ago. Which is great because I see a lot of artists that have been out for a long period of time. They get kind of fat.

I'm just as white as I am black, and I'm just as Russian Jew as I am West Indian.

We're getting so pulled in by computers and technology, and our kids have their face in the computers all day. The human relationship is being diminished by this.

Love , creativity, and opportunity is in the air. Take it in and do your thing.
