When I did 'The Great Escape,' I kept thinking, 'If they were making a movie of my life, that's what they'd call it - the great escape.'
I'd be lying to say I've not experienced a lot of racism in my life; it's very much alive. I don't let it bother me. I couldn't be the singer I am if I didn't let it go.
I had Madonna parties; I dressed like Madonna, and I had all of her records because we had records back then. I knew all of her lyrics; I was obsessed with her movies and the whole thing.
I wanted to talk about my life. There is so much. I was 18 when I made the record, and I had a lot to say.
I have a great wife and it's very easy to be romantic because it makes her happy and then my life is so much better when she's happy.
If it weren't for the mentorship and guidance from people like my mother, James Brown and others, I wouldn't have been able to make something of my life.
I married a woman who is much better than me, I'm very fortunate to be with her and I know I'll be happy with her the rest of my life.
I honed in on a great time, the Motown era, the '60s and '70s. That type of music has always been a staple in my life.
I've been playing music since I was four, so it's part of my life. It's all I know. It's just a part of my everyday living.
