Treasure, that is what you are
You have to be who you are, and hopefully they dig it
I think that success is having fun.
If I was a billionaire, I'd be smart with my money.
I watch the best. I'm a big fan of Elvis. I'm a big fan of 1950s Elvis when he would go on stage and scare people because he was a force and girls would go nuts! You can say the same thing for Prince or The Police. It's just guys who know that people are here to see a show, so I watch those guys and I love studying them because I'm a fan.
I know I'm probably much too late to try and apologize for my mistakes.
If perfect's what you're searching for, then just stay the same.
In Hawaii, some of the biggest radio stations are reggae. The local bands are heavily influenced by Bob Marley.
I've had big record label presidents look me in the face and say, 'Your music sucks, you don't know who you are, your music is all over the place, and we don't know how to market this stuff. Pick a lane and come back to us.'
My dream was to not get a day job but to sleep, wake up and do my music. I want to keep that dream forever.
When it's your time, it is your time.
Don't you love it that Prince doesn't use Twitter? Don't you think he's somewhere on a unicorn?
When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change 'cause you're are amazing just the way you are.
What I like about Elvis is the same thing I like about James Brown, Michael Jackson, Prince. These guys, back in the day, there was no smoke and mirrors. It was just raw talent. They would step out onstage and command an audience. Talk about awesome.
