BB Ki Vines is my baby. I have put so much time and heart into it.
I just think she was a wonderful woman. What I think of when I think of Nina [Simone] is someone that I could relate to, who didn't want anything from me, that could relate to me because I didn't want anything from her. It was nice.
When I started to write music, I desperately wanted to relate to people. But when I became famous, I could relate less. I thought, 'Oh, am I trapped in my own creation?' I was really lonely.
When you think blues, you think BB King. Even a young kid can look at a picture of BB King and say, 'the blues.' The man is more than a musician. He's a monument.
I think Phil Collins is one of the most underrated musicians, singers, performers - he is absolutely amazing, I think, and I think he's probably got a bit of a rough ride occasionally because he became so mainstream and so popular.
'LOVE' bit me. It was a marvelous idea, but it was also a terrible mistake. It became too popular; it became too popular.
All of the Vines that were acted & setup & had nice cameras, those weren't the good Vines. The good Vines were, like, a random little kid in the middle of a forest, like, yelling.
Ki is within us. There is Ki everywhere, either we know how to use it or we don't.
I moved out to L.A. to pursue entertainment beyond social media. Because I could have made Vines from Ohio.
The show became popular as aspecialthing became popular. And Sasquatch, the guy who runs that site, started coming to every show and reviewing it. And when people start talking about the reviews from the stage. That to me is really self indulgent and we tried to put a caper on that.
The lives of people are like young trees in a forest. They are being choked by climbing vines. The vines are old thoughts and beliefs planted by dead men.
Yeah, I think that's it... It's like Jesse James. He became really popular because he lasted so long. You know, there is some degree of truth to the fact that time will dignify anything, too.
After 'Sea Hawks,' television became very strange for me, I could not relate to the stories that were being shown on TV.
I became Fantastic Negrito, and I felt like there was a rawness and an honesty in that music that I could relate to. That I was ready, finally, in my life to be that honest with myself.
When viewers watch shows, they should relate to the story. There has to be a blend between reality and fiction.
I relate more to the descendants of Galileo Galilei and the Wright brothers than I do to anyone else you might mention. If you could name someone working today who I could relate to, I'd be both surprised and thrilled.
