I was very happy with the success of 'Noise/Funk,' but of course, there is a lot more that I have to say about the dance, about the history, about the people involved with the dance and their history.

I loved music and dance, and that was exciting to me.

Most people went to dance shows, but it was basically a table and a DJ playing and not really a spectacular thing. I brought the whole production with the effects - the best sound, the best lighting to blow the fans away.

Between Prince and my dad's fusion-jazz records, I didn't have a choice in being funky.

I love that way dance music can put you in a trance.

I fell in love with funk music through my father - Funkadelic - as well as soul and classical early on.

Making dance music was one of the best things I did in my life. I traveled the world; I met the most amazing fans. I got a lot of respect from doing it.

Since I was a child, I always loved music that made me want to dance. As a teenager, I used to dance the night away to electronic music.

I do love dance music. I love Daft Punk. I mean, I was a child in the '80s, so bands like the Eurythmics and just so many great '80s bands were dance bands, but they had the whole soul thing happening, too.
