There are two things that come very easily to me: rooting for New York sports teams and making mistakes.

Basketball is like war in that offensive weapons are developed first and it always takes a while for the defense to catch up.

You just let your lower self go and then it takes on all these aspects of the society - the city with horns blowing the people yelling things at each other and the all-in-all violence and chaos of the city. Put that on stage with music and that's what this is.

If you want a free society teach your children what oppression tastes like. Tell them how many miracles it takes to get from here to there. Above all encourage them to ask questions. Teach them to think for themselves.

My definition of a decent society is one that first of all takes care of its losers and protects its weak.

Once the fabric of a just society is undone it takes generations to weave it back together.

We are all murderers and prostitutes - no matter to what culture society class nation one belongs no matter how normal moral or mature one takes oneself to be.

When life takes me on a new journey I simply remember the smile my first ballet recital put on my face and I move forward.

Country music in the mid-'90s was a big influence on my career and I played all the songs that are referenced in ''94' back in my club days. Joe Diffie was rocking a sick mullet and he was hotter than ever... just putting out monster hit after monster hit. It totally takes me back to those days and it makes me smile every time I hear it.

It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile.
