My dream has come true, now that I have passed it on.
I don't want people to sit and process the song. I want them to just let them bathe over them.
I try to get that across in the work, to try to, if I'm lucky, to make this world a little bit better for all of us before I check out. And that's if I'm lucky, I don't always get to have that privilege but I try always.
I have no problem with violence, I have no problem playing horrible people.
If you're sick, watch funny movies.
I grew up in Synagogue in the boys' choir. We didn't listen to music in the house; only at temple. Then I went to a mostly African American high school on the South Side of Chicago and joined a gospel choir.
