I'm not one of those people who wake up chatting. I usually don't want to speak for the first 10 or 20 minutes. And I don't really want you to talk to me either!

It's great to be able to employ people who other people wouldn't consider viable employees.

I am used to being on tours with people who are fantastic performers and I respect them and I love their music. But the bottom line is they got the vision for what we are trying to do.

I have a no-die clause in every movie. The black people can't be dying all the time.

I realized there was racism because people thought, 'Oh, if you like roll 'n' roll, that makes you like a white kid.'
