It's A Trip To Have A Greatest

I'm Sure At One Point I Will Do Some Acting Again, But It Would Have To Be The Right Thing. I'm Not Going To Do It Just Because People Are Offering It To Me. Not For Those Box-office, Bullshit, Money, Noncreative People. But I'll Do It When It's Right To Do It.

My Mother Always Told Me To Embrace Both Sides Of My Background. And She Also Taught Me One Very Useful Thing When I Was Going To First Grade. She Said, "you're Bahamian And African-american On One Side, And Russian-jewish On The Other. You're No More One Than The Other, And It's Beautiful That You Have All This. It Makes Your Life All The More Rich. But Society Will See You Only As Black."

I Never Sit Down To Write. When I'm Moved, I Do It. I Just Wait For It To Come. You Just Hear It. I Can't Really Describe Writing. It's In My Head. I Don't Think About The Styles. I Write Whatever Comes Out And I Use Whatever Kind Of Instrumentation Works For Those Songs...a Lot Of People Don't Listen To The Lyrics, Really. A Lot Of People Pretty Much Only Listen To The Chorus.
