I like to go to the clubs. As long as the environment permits, and it's not too knuckleheadish, I'm there, I go to the club. Because that's where you get inspiration from.

We're all black when the lights go out.

I have no ill feelings for nobody, I wish everybody the best, and I'm cool with everybody.

I used to sing at funeral homes for families that didn't have a vocalist. I didn't get paid. I needed to sing.

People are locked up in all sorts of ways.

I'm always surprised that I'm still around funk and that people are still into it.
