I never sit down to write. When I'm moved, I do it. I just wait for it to come. You just hear it. I can't really describe writing. It's in my head.

I’ve lived my life dealing with everybody. And that’s how it’s always been for me.

My mom and dad would take me all over. One night we’d be at the Apollo watching James Brown, and then I’d be at the Joffrey Ballet. It was that kind of scene.

I’m just looking for interesting roles and giving acting the respect it deserves.

I’m sure great scripts are hard to find, but I’m definitely open, and waiting to see what comes my way.

They think I’m being serious when actually I’m a very big clown. But you have to know me to see that. I’m constantly cracking up and cracking everybody else around me up.

One musician listens to another musician, and you get inspired and then you do your thing, but it’s yours.

I think it’d be a real nightmare to put a record out and sell 20 million copies and then that’s it.

Every night is different, you never know what it’s going to be like. I remember every night. I don’t like to compare them.

If I had to associate myself with one song, it would probably be Let Love Rule. It’s so simple and to the point. It speaks for itself.
