If Your Record Doesn't Sell That Well,

I Like To Jump Some Rope And Swing Kettle Bells To Get My Blood Pumping. It Makes My Voice Sound Better, And It Clears My Head.

I'm Looking At [my Daughter] Right Now. To Think That I Am Her Dad Is The Greatest Honor In The World. She's An Amazing Kid. We Have A Great Relationship And She Is One Of My Closest Friends. I Seek Her Advice. I Like To Know What She Thinks About Things, And She's Helped Me Through Some Really Tough Times. I Just Look Forward To Years Of Developing That Relationship.

[my Mother Is] A Half-chinese, Half-jamaican Woman, Who Grew Up The Ninth Of Nine Kids, Getting A Law Degree From Harvard. Academically Brilliant, But Also Incredibly Strong-willed And Ethical. My Mother Was Like That, My Sister Is, And My Wife Is Too.

I Had A Couple Albums Out That Sold Well For Who I Was At The Time And The Type Of Music I Played. People Started Recognizing My Name And Face And It Helped Sell Bigger Venues. I Had A Bigger Spotlight And I Had To Live Up To It But I Thrived Under That Challenge. It Expedited The Creative Process. If I Was On Stage In Front Of 300 People Instead Of 30, I Had To Work Harder At My Performances Because I Had A Greater Responsibility. It Was Very Exciting, But Creative Too.

With Imagination, I'll Get There.
