I've always loved people that's been around for a long time, like old shoes.

I liked the name Saadiq and didn't want to be known as an artist as Raphael Wiggins.

If you really love music, people can tell if you love music. You have to just stick with it.

Frustrations are going to be there in every profession you're in.

I feel like I have re-created myself on every album. I try to do that. It's like playing a game with yourself, trying to compete with yourself.

I have musician friends who play too much golf, and they're not as good at music anymore.

If you want to be like the greats, you learn from the greats.
