Kids are probably frustrated and egos are too much involved and kids don't know how to get together and be kids and start a group and it's kind of sad because I feel like if you come out with three or four people in the beginning, you can be protected and everybody can shield each other. Before you get out there by yourself and get all these people coming at you. I just think it's not really there.

I'm using more energy than ever.

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

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

You know all these stadiums that U2 are playing? I've played in them. And I'm building up to it again.

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

I don't really produce so-called commercial pop music so I haven't changed so much. I've been on the one path always.
