You can't just sit there and wait for people to give you that golden dream. You've got to get out there and make it happen for yourself.

Human beings are of two classes: those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure; and those whose work and pleasure are one.

I admire work ethic. I think that it should be reinforced throughout our neighborhoods. Everybody should work hard. Practice makes perfect. You have to be diligent about what you want. You have to apply yourself. You have to motivate yourself. You have to do it for self by yourself. And then, you can do things for other people. But that's what I had to do. I had to do for self.

The whole band is very particular. We don't go in for half measures and I'm very hard with myself. There're no compromises. If I thought a song wasn't quite right, I'd discard it. I'm very intricate and delicate.
