• It started so early, it all runs together. But what made a huge impact on me was when I went to Europe at 15 or 16 years old. All I knew before that was music on the radio and TV. When I went over there I realized there are all different levels of music. There are people who do blues, jazz, classical, working in film, TV and all kinds of places. You might not see them on MTV but there are lots of needs and uses and opportunities for all kinds of music.

• When I'm in Los Angeles, it's hard to be creative. For me, New Orleans is one of those places that's like a muse. You can hear music on the streets. There's a certain character the city has that inspires you when you're needing to write lyrics and come up with melodies and come up with rhythm and blues. The city has a pulse and it's an inspiration for me.

• Los incentivos fiscales son cosas que el negocio de la música puede emular. Si soy propietario de Yesterday, de los Beatles, e intento pedir un préstamo de 10.000 dólares a un banco utilizando esa canción como garantía, no sabrían qué hacer. Me echarían del banco. En cambio, si contamos con personas especializadas que sepan tasar el valor de la propiedad intelectual, como canciones, catálogos y grabaciones maestras, sabrán darle algún tipo de valor. Esto existe en Nashville y Los Ángeles. Nueva Orleans está empezando a conseguirlo.
