“Really it has been a struggle to overcome some of the misconceptions that are put on you when you do something that has a religious connotation. I've been struggling to just erase the religious feeling about me.”

“Many people early on actually thought I was a black performer!”

“If you have the burning desire to do music, the live performance is one of the major parts.”

“Listen, the word 'party' has taken on a negative connotation in our country these days. It's really bumming me out.”

“The 'Weston' is actually my middle name. I hyphenated it because I really wasn't willing to go out in the acting world as 'Tom Jones,' 'cause I'm Welsh as well, so the connotation is just ridiculous.”

“I was doing a bit that stupid people should be slapped. But the more I did it, the more I didn't like that connotation, the violence and all that. The more I thought about it, I thought they should just wear signs. And, man, it just took off.”
