“There's something about live players that you cannot get with machines...” — Isaac Hayes Quote

“There's something about live players that you cannot get with machines: With live musicians, you can strike a groove, you can feed off each other... And, even though somebody might make a slight mistake, it's all real!”

“There's always hurdles. So I just keep moving, just constantly redefining myself. That's how you stay in the race.”

“The rappers have gone in and created a lot of hit music based upon my influence. And they'll tell you if you ask.”

“To holy people the very name of Jesus is a name to feed upon, a name to transport. His name can raise the dead and transfigure and beautify the living.”

“I try not to think about anything too much when I'm throwing. I'm trying to get the momentum more than anything... You can see when your opponent misses a shot and he reacts. You can feed off of that. You can feed off it if he has a good shot, too.”

“I feed off the audience a lot, their energy.”
