It's funny that people think because you don't have a movie or record out, you disappear into a frozen chamber someplace. They think you're dead when you're not in the public eye.
The funny thing about making this record and being away from the girls and on my own in LA is that it allowed me to reflect on how much we've accomplished.

Life is like a cash register, in that every account, every thought, every deed, like every sale, is registered and recorded.
Lessons didn't really work out for me, so I went to the old school, listening to records and learning what I wanted to learn.

No one individual vote, no one individual quote or no one individual statement defines me, my beliefs, or my record.
