Whenever I Think About Funk Music, It

When I Get Ready To Do An Album, That Means I Have Something To Say For The Sake Of Words, And I Listen Back To All Of The Things I've Been Creating And Pull Things From Out Of The Air To Go With Them. It's Almost Like I Start Creating The Album Before I Even Think About Creating It.

I Was Sitting At Home One Day And I Got A Call That Riccardo Tisci Was Considering Me For The Face Of The Givenchy Spring/summer 2014 Campaign, And I Said, "are You Kidding?" And That Was The End Of The Conversation. I'm A Really Big Fan.

I Go Through Phases Of Stuff.

I'm A Performance Artist First; I'm A Recording Artist Second.

And I Figured Out That The Reason I Couldn't Get Through The Day As Well As I Can Now Is Because I Had Too Many Things On My Mind, On My Plate, You Know, For One Person To Have. So I Started To Eliminate Some Of The Things That Were Too Heavy To Carry And Unnecessary.
