I was really fortunate growing up to have a broad musical education. My parents listened to all kinds of music, rock, soul, Motown, jazz, Frank Sinatra, everything.

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.

The real reason why so few men believe in God is that they have ceased to believe that even a God can love them.

Lawyers didn't seriously get involved in the Watergate stories until quite late, when we realized we were on to something.

If we fixed a hangnail the way our government fixes the economy, we'd slam a car door on it.

Saving Private Ryan was probably the illest, sickest movie I've ever watched, and I didn't see anybody criticizing that one for violence.

You have to find that love within yourself. If you love yourself, you feel good about yourself, and sports help you feel good about yourself.

How do you remember all those lines? By forgetting everything else.

The well dressed man never stands out in a crowd; his elegance sets him apart.

You win when no one finds you, even if they're not looking.

An art is only great and significant if it is one that all may enjoy. The art of a clique is but a plaything.
