Musician Quotes

“As a musician, I don't have one thing that's "my thing." I like to create, and have a lot of outlets for it. Dustin Hoffman is one of the guys that sets a model for me, because of how good he is at being such different characters. Every time you see DeNiro, he's pretty much DeNiro - great, but DeNiro. Hoffman is different every time, depending on his character. That's how I see myself as a performer.”

“I don't think being a musician makes me a role model at all.

I think that it's important to keep that cycle going, and to give back to whatever your personal definition of community is.”

It can only the successful ones, basketball players, musicians, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell.
