WHO would play you in the film of your life?
Denzel Washington.

WHY do you do that thing you do?
It feels good and it’s a challenge. It makes me feel.
WHY do you do that thing you do?
Hopefully with children rolling around in the grass, laughing with my family. Paying the bills through music.
WHEN will there be a harvest for the world?
Soon.
