I've loved Michael Jackson since the minute I was born. He's probably the most talented person ever. He was able to create such an amazing career and be probably the biggest star we've ever had.
When you are doing music videos through the '90s, which I did, and the 2000s, you were put in the position, really, as an independent filmmaker. You were being financed by a major record company or a minor record company or whatever.
Those folks at Death Row were the Rolling Stones of their time.
Van Halen is a work in progress.
Leona Lewis made some really nice albums.
Good bands won't get famous anymore unless they get really lucky.
MTV didn't exist in 1980, but by 1982, it had gotten to be a force to be reckoned with.
I met Drake. That was crazy. Chief Keef, that was another crazy one. Obviously, people like Ski Mask The Slump God, that's my boy.
Downstairs in my house, I have a museum room. I keep all of my awards down there, and childhood photos, and even all the clothes I've worn on tour, in videos and on album covers.
I love Rihanna.
So many people have been so supportive of my music, my music videos, everything all around.
I am the biggest Destiny's Child - Beyonce, Kelly, Michelle, all of them - fan in the world.
I do have a lot of music out.
I think K-Pop is a type of expression.
My favorite artists are Kanye West, Jay Z, the Fugees, Lauryn Hill, Destiny's Child.
I'm a massive fan of Troye Sivan, Ariana Grande, and Justin Timberlake.
Dance has been a driving force in my life for 25 years. From music videos and hip hop, to jazz and musical theater, to ballet and classic modern dance, I have had extensive exposure to a variety of techniques that inspire my own electric style.
I'm not really rocking with mixtapes no more. EPs and albums - that's it.
Fashion has always been influenced by hip-hop.
Radio and TV can still push a band, but things need to be shaken up. There is the Internet, but mostly what I see there is little kids on YouTube playing music.
Even though I'm a pop singer, I really have more the life of a country singer.
Love A$AP Rocky. I love his music, and I love his style.
I love Katy Perry! She's very charming.
When I approach my music and my music videos, obviously all of the subjects and stories that I tell come from an honest, truthful place and the experiences that I've had.
When I was a kid, all I knew about Michael Jackson was that he was crazy. He had a monkey named Bubbles and some kind of oxygen chamber, and he used to be black, but he made himself white, and he was nuts. That was Michael Jackson in full. Wacko Jacko.
