I just trust people and they sense everything's gonna be alright.

Every time I go and shave I assume there's someone else on the planet shaving. So I say 'I'm gonna go shave too.'

They've also asked me now to start on another series that we're gonna do after this Frontier Earth. But it's not science fiction it's more in the Mystery and Crime division and that's another area I'm very interested in.

Don't Cry Daddy is a pretty sad song. He got to the end of it and it was just real quiet and Elvis says I'm gonna cut that someday for my daddy. And by God he did. He lived up to his word.

I always think of the live show first where the song is gonna go in the show. That's why they aren't sad songs. When I play I want to make people happy not sad. It's such a pleasure for me to do what I do and I want other people to feel some form of that pleasure too.

That's the most important thing to me - that if I'm gonna spend however long it takes to make a movie give up 14 hours a day for however many weeks or months then it's very important for me to know that I'm working with people who I respect and enjoy and that we're going for something together.

I'm not gonna say that I hate it because I really respect Usher and I was influenced by him. But so many people compare me to him and I don't think it'll ever stop. I just want to be my own artist.

Don't ever know who you may meet or just because a person may not be dressed up all fancy don't mean they're not an important person. You just don't ever know who you're gonna meet in life. So that's why I look at everybody as equal. Can't just judge. I treat everybody with respect. Every man.

Unless we do things in this country to slow down our population slow down our birth control provide better water for people provide power for people we're gonna find out that the next wars are not going to be fought over diamonds gold and political things.
