“It might be a huge hit, it might not; but you learn something doing it.”

There are people that bring artists to me to look at it and it’s a question of whether I like their music and their look and if I think there’s something they have that makes them different and commercial.

I enjoy music that is commercial.

There’s artists that I’m working with on a new label of mine. Foxy Nova and Supa Nova.

I would say that I’ve been lucky. Being blessed and not really ever giving up.

But a lot of the old fans are listening to a lot of the younger music. So I gotta keep moving forward, and they’ll move forward too.

Music was what I always wanted to do and I was one of the lucky few to achieve my ambition and earn a living from it for which I’m very grateful.

I could easily not be the person that people know.

The reality is, some people don’t want you to change or go anywhere different.

You can find a diamond in the rough a lot of times.

I’m continuing to produce and will start a new record soon, as well.

Unfortunately, a lot of executives aren’t like producers, and can’t hear the diamond in the rough.

The Internet is a whole new world opening up.

I usually prepare a track and then I work with the artist when it’s time to do the vocals.

I don’t go to that many Broadway shows, so I can’t really say anything.

Commercial music, for the most part, is popular music and you always have to keep that in mind.

When I was in top 40 bands, I always had to learn new material and new styles.

You can’t get AIDS from a hug or a handshake or a meal with a friend.

Governance can dig itself into a huge hole and not even know it’s in there.

Being able to touch so many people through my businesses and make money while doing it, is a huge blessing.

You’re going to be much less likely to point the finger at somebody and create a huge brouhaha when it wasn’t necessary if you had stopped and asked yourself, ‘Could I have done things to prevent this situation?’

Zack Snyder is a huge fan of ‘Game of Thrones,’ and I met him in the training stunt facility that I train at, and I guess he really liked me because he later called me into his office, and we talked about playing Aquaman.

I’m a huge art buff.

Britain is the ideas factory of the world and has huge potential to benefit from the next technological revolution.

MTV made a huge impact. Heavy rotation took you from selling 1m albums to 20m albums, and that meant a lot of dough.
