I would say that I've been lucky. Being blessed and not really ever giving up.

The reality is, some people don't want you to change or go anywhere different.

Unfortunately, a lot of executives aren't like producers, and can't hear the diamond in the rough.

Music was what I always wanted to do and I was one of the lucky few to achieve my ambition and earn a living from it for which I'm very grateful.

You can find a diamond in the rough a lot of times.

I'm continuing to produce and will start a new record soon, as well.

I usually prepare a track and then I work with the artist when it's time to do the vocals.

The most exciting thing for all of us is movies and movie stars.

But a lot of the old fans are listening to a lot of the younger music. So I gotta keep moving forward, and they'll move forward too.

When I was in top 40 bands, I always had to learn new material and new styles.

There's artists that I'm working with on a new label of mine. Foxy Nova and Supa Nova.

Good thoughts without actions are like a ship stuck in a port.

Stop turning every others battle into yours. Sometimes amidst of all the wars, all you need to become is the lighthouse, not the sword.

I'm not allowed to be as liberal as I would like to be, you know? I'd do a lot more damage if I could!

One of the most powerful feelings in the world is after a really, really long run.

You are not your past, not your habits, not your compulsions. When you get to know who you are, anything becomes possible.

Stay in school, stay off drugs, don't make the same mistakes I did, respect yourself, and others will follow.

Nought may endure but Mutability.

To succeed you have to be innovative.

We want lives of simple, predictable ease-smooth, even trails as far as the eye can see-but God likes to go off-road.
