I think that Detroiters are some of the most resilient people in the world.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and I definitely have a hearty breakfast before I do anything.

I DJ all the time, as much as I possibly can. I'll never stop. That's my security blanket, that's what I'm good at. I still consider myself a better DJ than a singer. I can DJ in my sleep.

Nowhere on earth has more soul than Detroit.

That's one of the most important things to me is that Detroit and Ann Arbor got my back. If you don't have hometown love, then what's the point?

I just want to make music as long as I can and reach as many people as I can.

A big part of the Motown formula was, they took music and turned it into this sort of automotive assembly line. They were cranking out 10 songs a day in that studio, or more.

Drums, bass, guitar, keys, I play a little of each of those.

I consider myself to have a decent sense of humor. What's life without a sense of humor?

A lot of people think I live in a soul bubble.

My intentions with any of my music is to keep it futuristic and updated and be experimental and try new things.

Excuses, we all have them, but successful choose not to use them

The word impossible says I'm possible

Cultivate clarity, strength, vitality and power from natural, beautiful and organic living foods.

When someone is suffering, there is a deep, visceral reaction in the core of our being, a flood of empathy and a frightfully desperate compulsion to give aid.

You can shear a sheep a hundred times, but you can skin it only once.

The truth of my experience is that we are all a lot more alike than we are different.

We must reduce all the emissions that are destroying the planet. However, that requires a change in lifestyle, a change in the economic model: We must go from capitalism to socialism.

All the evil in the world is the fault of the self-styled pure in heart, a result of their eagerness to unearth secrets and expose them to the light of the sun.

To your dog, you are the greatest, the smartest, the nicest human being who was ever born.

I'm alive today, therefore I'm just as much a part of our time as everybody else. The times will just have to enlarge themselves to make room for me, won't they, and for everybody else.
