There are 7 billion people in the world, and 5.1 billion of them have a cell phone, and 4 billion have a toothbrush.
I write music people enjoy playing and listening to, and I have a group that loves playing the music.
It's safe to talk openly and honestly with people because they're not really listening.
I encourage more blacks and people of color to get a passport. That's one way to help put people on an equal platform.
Try to do your best to look people in the eye and talk to them without a gadget being in between you all the time.
Music is music and I think music people are the delivers, the actors, when they put their music out they want to insert their character in it. So they call it such and such so you know how they live so to speak.
I have more awareness of other people and, I hope, more sensitivity to their needs. I also find that I'm more direct and outspoken.

You got to learn to take what people are willing to give.
I know too much; I've seen people at their worst, at their most desperate and selfish, and this knowledge makes me wary. So I am learning to pretend, to smile, to nod, to display empathy I do not feel. I am learning to pass, to look like everyone else, even though I feel broken inside.
I enjoy real people, down-to-earth people who are true to themselves and honest to your face - good or bad.

With comedy, it's a combination of knowing the comedic beat was good - it made you laugh, it made people on the crew laugh. With drama, you do something deep and if your stuff was really effective, the ultimate result is silence. Silence is not necessarily... that would also be the result if you sucked.
