I come from an era of music when it had heart and soul.

I'm writing songs to perform, to entertain. And when I'm really trying to get inspired, I go backwards, and I just rap.

All you have to do is put me in front of the people and put the beat in front of me, and the rest is history.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

Shaft was a pop culture figure along t he lines of, I guess, Dirty Harry - except that he wasn't as much of a racist. So yeah, I was always a fan.

You go through phases. You have to reinvent reasons for playing, and one year's answer might not do for another.
