I'll probably be 80 years old and still performing. Music is like fashion, it changes. But some things will always be the same.

Hip-hop certainly is in sync with the youth, and every day that passes, I grow less youthful, as much as I have tried to hold onto it.

My music is how I feel, and that's changed from being twenty years old to being forty-three years old.

I didn't grow up listening to hip-hop since I was six.

You've got to be true to who you are and what you do. I'm more of a hip-hop feel person. Music is how you feel. The younger the mind, that's how I wanna be.

I'm not going to be rockin' n' rollin' when I'm 50 years old. But you can be in your prime on television, compose songs, or write a Broadway play when you're 50.

I'm still getting thrilled with music even after 40 years of doing it professionally.

The bottom line is, I tend to be going back to older and older music.

I don't even listen to hip-hop anymore. All my friends are white and over 40.
