“Old is unwanted. You don’t find Thais going to the thrift store. They want new clothes. They want the newest cell phone.”

From the expressive capabilities of the vocalizing or of the sound itself, which allows me to create my own meaning for it, which elevates it into a higher piece of work for me.

I love what I do so I find ways to keep doing what I love. Music is certainly not all that interests me.

Coming to them to listen only to the music is not what people do.

I’ve had to adjust to karaoke as a modern reality that obscures our hunt for what we’re truly after.

I’m not satisfied with the state of humanity.

I hear things my own way and I present them.

My sense of humor keeps me from committing atrocities!

But the live band is now becoming ancient history in Thailand, Cambodia, and Burma.

If I must live on the same planet as Mr and Mrs out of touch, I will do whatever I can to jolt their zombie-ass skulls from the upside-down veal market they hang from.

There hasn’t been a true breakdown or effort to break Thai music into genres.

Sound is inspiring and I can be quite obssessive with certain sounds.

I like traditional music. I listen to a lot of it. There is no particular reason to present these recordings.

They’re not into dicing and slicing everything up.

If you’re somewhat resourceful and perceptive, you’re pretty much going to know what’s going on because human nature is human nature: they understand it, you understand it, and it works.

In terms of perceptions of the culture, most people don’t think about music.

The lyrics are not an important thing to me. In fact, it can be a distraction.

In a totalitarian state, the state views any act of an individual to be political in nature. For example, the clothing that a person wears in a modern state is a private affair whereas in the Islamic Republic all women are forced to wear the hijab (Islamic attire).

My parents were vegetarians. I’d show up at school, this giant black kid, with none of the cool clothes and a tofu sandwich and celery sticks.

I love shopping; I’m a jeans and a T-shirt kind of girl, but I go classy when I dress up – with a little bit of sexy.

I’m tryin’ to build myself bigger than just Ace Hood, I’m tryin’ to build myself as a bigger brand – open up clothing lines, colognes.

When we did ‘Dynasty’, it was the clothes. I think the clothes affected every woman around the world. I got so many letters, I think we made the designer a millionaire!

In college I didn’t dress up every day, for class or stuff like that, but when it came time to do certain things I’d dress up for sure.

ARMOR, n. The kind of clothing worn by a man whose tailor is a blacksmith.

The way you rip off my clothes makes me feel like I am a gift, your gift that you can wait to unfold.
