When you create art, the world has to wait.

There's a certain delusional quality that all successful people have to have. You have to believe that something different than what has happened for the last 50 million years of history - you have to believe that something different can happen.

It's better to be prepared than to get ready.

You've got to run your career. What happens is a lot of times artists have this talent and they're just looking for somebody to take it and do something with it. And you have to be the creative force.

I believe you need to be educated about what you want to do in life, but I don't believe you actually need college to get you there.

You have to create something in a way that has direction, that it has vision, and then your partner will take it and figure out whatever their expertise is.

I had a hit single on the radio for 30 days before I graduated from high school.
