“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.

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.

I’ve got a great sense of humor, and if I’m able to say or do something in a movie that people feel like they want to repeat, that’s hugely flattering.

Adam Smith’s huge failure was the fact that he did not foresee the industrial revolution.

I was a huge fan of comedy when I was a child.

There is a huge difference between being tolerant and tolerating intolerance.

If you are not going to produce albums then you are not going to produce new fans. It’s impossible.

I’m a huge believer in putting music out as quickly as early as possible.

The opening of the doors to 29 million Romanians and Bulgarians is going to become a huge issue.

Waiting is a huge part of being a refugee. You’re waiting at borders to get across. You’re waiting for transportation.
