What do great artists do when you see a world around you that's in turmoil? Some of the best artists make you feel good (hah), they look to the future.

Art, well good art at least, takes you to a place you go during the experience of it, and then after you experience it you are different.

Any real record person knows that the number one most powerful marketing tool when it comes to music is repetition.

I think the hardest thing to overcome is judging yourself and being your own worst critic so to speak.

I've been able to be a part of every movement in music over the last several decades. The only one that I haven't been involved in so much is hip-hop, which I chose not to be involved in because it felt like I would be what they called "perpetrating." It felt like hip-hop was so much of its own culture and that I was not part of that culture.

If I could live in one city and do every single thing I do there, I would choose Venice. You can't turn your head without seeing something amazing.

After waiting four long years since the Lost CHIC Tapes were recovered, I'm finally putting out our first record. I'm like a child waiting for Christmas morning.
