“The music is first and foremost everything - no egos, no attitude, nothing - it's about the music.”

“Look, I got 11,052 songs on my iPod. Cyndi Lauper, Guns N' Roses, Geto Boys, N.W.A.... push shuffle and anything will come on.”

“I still picture myself as a student of the music. I'm always trying to learn new things. Music is just what makes me tick.”

“The way to judge a new artist is by listening to their albums and gauging the progress that they make from the first record to the next one.”

“When I leave a room, it's gonna be footprints of funk wherever I stepped, because I'm a soul-funk crusader.”

“I'm nocturnal when it comes to recording - I'm just more creative at night.”

“I'm just a product of my environment, and it comes out in the music.”

“I don't care who the president is - it ain't just all about who's black or who's white or who's Republican or Democrat, it's about who is for the betterment of people, period.”

“One thing I like about Twitter is that you can hear it from the horse's mouth.”

“I'm about making music and spending time with my family. I've been in the spotlight so long that I'm looking for something different.”

“I'm just a cool type of guy who's all about positives.”

“I'm a Libertarian. I'm liberty, justice for all, liberty for all.”

“I'm not pro-government at all, I'm pro-people.”
