Music is like girlfriends to me; I'm continually astonished by the choices other people make.

People ask me how far I've come. And I tell them twelve feet: from the audience to the stage.

You want a hero in the music world? James Brown. He brought a feeling to music without really using words. He's just famous for his sound.
