All Guys Get Into Music

I Go To The Favelas In Brazil. It's The Same In The South Side Of Chicago. It's The Same, Or Just More Violent. We're Trying To Get Them To Stop Selling Dope. You See Kids With Ak-47s, And Nine-year-olds With Nine Millimeters. You Know, They Don't Play. They Make Us Look Like Nuns.

I Improvised My Life Along The Way - I Just Moved Step-by-step. And I Knew That If I Got Better, Something Would Happen.

Empty The Cup Every Time And It Comes Back At Twice As Full. I Developed That Attitude When I Was Very, Very Young, When I Decided I Didn't Want To Be A Gangster Anymore. Whether It's Just Shining Shoes, I Said Okay, I'm Going To Do This Better Than Anybody Else Did It In My Life.

A Song Should Have All The Color And Beauty Of Every Rose.

I Was Inspired By A Lot Of People When I Was Young, Every Band That Came Through Town, To The Theater, Or The Dance Hall. I Was At Every Dance, Every Night Club, Listened To Every Band That Came Through, Because In Those Days We Didn't Have Mtv, We Didn't Have Television.
