1 Age

  • 2. If children are not introduced to music at an early age I believe something fundamental is actually being taken from them.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I loved hip-hop. The first stuff I heard was Public Enemy and I couldn't believe it. It was amazing and I've always loved hip-hop.

  • 3. They say it's good but I didn't know what I was doing until I got into the suit and they put the moustache on me and somehow when I got all the drag on it came out. It was the most amazing thing. I'm truly extraordinary.

  • 3. I think you have to be willing to take a bullet for somebody if you're going to stand up there take your vows and be married to them for the rest of your life.

5 Architecture

  • 1. To work in architecture you are so much involved with society with politics with bureaucrats. It's a very complicated process to do large projects. You start to see the society how it functions how it works. Then you have a lot of criticism about how it works.
  • 2. The art of dancing stands at the source of all the arts that express themselves first in the human person. The art of building or architecture is the beginning of all the arts that lie outside the person and in the end they unite.
  • 3. I call architecture frozen music.
