The whole nostalgia thing, and just sticking with what you always liked and what you know and not taking a chance on something or expanding. I think especially after a certain age.

When I listen to a record, or when I'm making a record, I listen to everything. I listen to the drums, the bass, the voice, the arrangement. I listen to the whole piece as an ensemble.

It's just something internal that says, 'I've got to do this now. This is what I'm doing now.'

I love soul music, that's my real love in life and in whatever shape or form it is.

My own personal theory is that all popular music, in whatever form it is, to me, it all comes from Africa. Whether it's filtered through America or whatever - African-American. But I still think there's something in that roots music that's very, very African, and I think that's what unites people.

You do your runway show, and it's all over the Internet before I see anything on there.

When I'm dead I wanna leave a body of work, like authors or great painters do.
