I've always loved to prove people wrong. I want to be able to cross color lines, because in music, there really is no barrier.

For the first few years we paid all the bills first and divided what was left as salary. Sometimes that was $50 a week.

A lot of people have problems with public confrontation, but it doesn't worry me at all. I can handle myself. I know my martial arts.

My favorite books, art pieces, films, and music, always have something jarring about them.
