There are two hedges I know of; one is cash and the other is knowledge.
I'd love to direct, I'd love to produce. I'd love to learn all about it, and being around it all the time certainly helps.
Bono is my inspiration - not only as a rock star but as a humanitarian. We aren't just put on this earth to sell records. Maybe it's because of my upbringing, but I do consider myself a moral guy.
I definitely caught a lot of backlash in my situation, not just from students but also from faculty, which was unfortunate, given that I was spending a lot of my time outside school working on a career, which a lot of people didn't really agree with.
Absolutely, I grew up listening to soul music. People like Stevie, Aretha, Ray Charles, Michael and Prince. My parents’ record collection was all I had when I was a little kid. If it wasn’t that, it was something else in their collection.
Whenever I have time, I try to get in the studio and write, whether it's for me or other artists or my catalog of music. It's definitely one of my favorite parts of the music industry.
My mother was not the cook in the family. My dad was. I'd watch him behind the grill, and I said, 'If I ever make it and have enough money, I'm going to make sure I dine in the best restaurants. '
I'm extremely blessed with my teammates. They're such an encouragement in my life. I have people praying for me and I'm praying for them as well.
People usually believe anything that they are told early and often.
Man will ever stand in need of man.
I don't wanna get rich - just live good.
