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.

Every suit I wear is custom-made by a guy named Waraire Boswell in L.A.

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

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

My mission has always been to do something that suits everybody.

Isaac Hayes told me once, 'There's no such thing as old-school. Either you went to school or you didn't.'

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.
