The people in charge globally are maniacs. They are maniacs and unless we do something about it these people are going to deprive us of a future.

We lived in a one-bedroom apartment in Northwest D.C. I was essentially raised by a Panamanian man and a Jamaican woman. That's why I have such a fascination with Jamaican food.

But for my faith in God I should have been a raving maniac.

No movie influenced me more to go after my dreams than 'Flashdance.' After seeing it I took 15 dance lessons a week. I cut all my sweatshirts. I did the 'Maniac' thing.

Overcoming my dad telling me that I could never amount to anything is what has made me the megalomaniac that you see today.

Everybody hangs out with everybody which is very strange for a cast this large and this young. We're all cool and down to earth and not caught up in this maniacal business at all... . Everybody really really likes everybody else.

I do think sometimes there's danger in guest appearance mania. I've seen too many examples that sound cool on paper like 'Oh get that guy to sing the hook on that guy's song ' and then that's all it is. It's a cool idea that sounds good on paper.

I got interested in computers and how they could be enslaved to the megalomaniac impulses of a teenager.

Performing doesn't turn me on. It's an egomaniac business filled with prima donnas - including this one.

If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music then in that respect you can call me that... I believe in what I do and I'll say it.
