I Am Not Trying To Change The

I Knew What I Wanted To Do From The Time I Was 5.

We're Beginning To Play God And Get Into Cloning. We Give Up Quickly. Divorce Is An Easy Option. So Why Not Just Create Your Own Mate? Synthesize A Human Being. You Get Tired Of It, Turn It Off And Put It In The Closet Like The Vacuum Cleaner.

I Was In Paris Last Year, Where There's A Great Appreciation Of Many Different Aspects Of African Culture And Of Black Culture. The Music... The Art... Whatever... And I Kind Of Went With That.

When I'm In The Studio, I Write The Music, I Play The Different Instruments, I Produce It, I Arrange It, And It's A Self-indulgent Exercise. It's The Way I Make My Music. And When I'm Acting, I Get To Leave Myself Behind, Which Is A Relief. I Get To Collaborate With A Director; I Respect The Director's Medium And All The Actors And Actresses. So At The End Of The Day, It's About A Character And It's About A Director's Vision. It's A Really Good Balance For Being So Intense And Alone In My Personal Process Of Making Music.

The Most Important Thing For Me Is The Moment, Going From One Thing To The Next And Hitting All The Different Levels And Different Points That Make The Whole What It Is.
