I didn't appreciate Mick Jagger until I got older, and mainly because of the Mick Jagger swagger. He defined that for the world. He was bold and adventurous with it, too - just the ultimate rock star.

I consider myself to have a decent sense of humor. What's life without a sense of humor?

I think that Detroiters are some of the most resilient people in the world.

I was really fortunate growing up to have a broad musical education. My parents listened to all kinds of music, rock, soul, Motown, jazz, Frank Sinatra, everything.

I try to make sure that I make music that can stand the test of time.

My intentions with any of my music is to keep it futuristic and updated and be experimental and try new things.

I just want to have fun and party with everyone around the world. That's the only rule, to have fun.
