I Don't Remember Feeling Love.

I Got In The School Band And The School Choir. It All Hit Me Like A Ton Of Bricks, Everything Just Came Out. I Played Percussion For A While, And Stayed After School Forever Just Tinkering Around With Different Things, The Clarinets And The Violins.

I Guess Hip-hop Has Been Closer To The Pulse Of The Streets Than Any Music We've Had In A Long Time. It's Sociology As Well As Music, Which Is In Keeping With The Tradition Of Black Music In America.

I Tell My Kids And I Tell Proteges, Always Have Humility When You Create And Grace When You Succeed, Because Its Not About You. You Are A Terminal For A Higher Power. As Soon As You Accept That, You Can Do It Forever.

My Earliest Memories Are Being Pinned To A Fence With A Switchblade.

A Song Should Have All The Color And Beauty Of Every Rose.
