I have no problem with thinking small. Sometimes you have to think small first in order to think big.

Everybody is looking for a hit single but what the artists really need is an executive producer to help put better albums out.

Albums aren't even selling anymore and there's a reason for that. Record companies are just signing single and ring tone deals and it doesn't seem like they're focusing on albums.

I grew up in the church not being able to listen to anything but gospel. So, while [other] people grew up with their parents listening to Marvin Gaye and Aretha Franklin, I never knew they existed until I was able to listen to what I wanted to.

Young kids out here see what's on TV and feel like they can start rapping. They think rappers are rich and really have their own jets and Bentleys, but in lot of cases that stuff is rented.

God is my spiritual guide. Half the music I come up with I really don't know where it comes from.
