I Want To Get Away, I Want

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.

When I Hear Music, It's Visual; I See Things.

Beyond [barack Obama] Having Made History As The First African-american President, I Hope That He Gets Re-elected For What He Does While In Office, Not For His Skin Color. I Certainly Believe He Has The Capacity.

I Don't Think About The Styles. I Write Whatever Comes Out And I Use Whatever Kind Of Instrumentation Works For Those Songs.

When I Stopped Trying To Write Songs, That's When I'm Able To Begin Writing Songs. You Have To Just Use Your Life, And The Things Around You For Your Inspiration.
