I've always enjoyed the enthusiasm of the best studio musicians and, over the years, have collected so many inspired contributions from them.

I think I was very lucky to have grown up with an artist's studio in the house. It was a kind of life that was possible. Yeah, it made it kind of harder because the standards were higher, but there was no pressure.

As an artist, it feels good that we've created something that is connecting with the audience, which is what we always strive to do.

I can honestly say that the fans inspire. There's an unexplainable rush that comes when I'm in the middle of a set and the energy from the fans hit me. I also get really inspired through collaborations. I've learned so much from the emerging producers I've worked with just as they've learned from me.

Then came the choreography... the impact of music and choreography tends to really emphasize an overall feeling of what you really want out of the program.

My tastes and inspirational artists were always rather eclectic and diverse.

Being in the studio is like painting, you know, you can really take your time, and try different things, and kind of go deep into it.

People who devote themselves to a life of style are admirable.

Which is why I felt I was truly blessed this year, with leads in two nice films, and also the luxury of being able to do a studio film and an independent afterwards was fantastic.

Creative Artists Agency put together a project of extraordinary mediocrity and colossal stupidity. Otherwise, it was great.
