While listening ,to things like western swing, for instance, I'd work something out in my head, then play it on my National; not the same song, but one that captured the feeling of the original tune. (Ace Goodman)
Don't give up, be positive and if you know someone who knows someone at a record company don't stop beating down their door till you get heard. Don't ever say it'll never happen or it'll never happen. (Ace Goodman)
Everything is scary if you look at it. So you just got to live. (Ace Goodman)
I don't want no drama in my life, even though we have a little bit, but no more letting people control you. That's drama, because then you become something that you're not. (Ace Goodman)
I listen to Lauryn Hill. I think Lauryn deserves her success. She opens doors because she's a woman and she does what we do. (Ace Goodman)
I listened to Chaka Khan and I listened to Aretha, but I don't sound like them. (Ace Goodman)
I mean, all my life, I never really thought negative about nothing. Never. (Ace Goodman)
I mean, I know my heart is not clean, and your heart is not clean, and none of our urban hearts are clean. But you can be washed again. (Ace Goodman)
I mean, Mary J. Blige has evolved as a person and I am from the streets, but I am Mary. (Ace Goodman)
I really know Puff, I don't really know Dre. (Ace Goodman)
I think Dre is one of the nicest producers I've ever worked with. He has so much class and he's very ego-less and that makes it easy to work with Dre. (Ace Goodman)
I'm a waiter, and I'm patient, because when God promises me something, and it's in the air and on my heart, I wait on Him. I wait and that's it. (Ace Goodman)
I'm just celebrating the fact that I'm no longer what I was mentally and spiritually. (Ace Goodman)
I'm starting my own record label. (Ace Goodman)
In the studio you can really concentrate on performing the song where as on stage you also have to worry about connecting with so many people, they're definitely different. (Ace Goodman)
Living in big houses is not what I want to do with myself. It's too big for me to live alone. (Ace Goodman)
My first album is playful. (Ace Goodman)
Puff really knows what will make people dance where as I am more concerned about what will get people in the ribs, what will make them feel the song. (Ace Goodman)
Puff, you just gotta love him for being him 'cause he makes me laugh. If you don't know him, he's gonna have you all uptight. (Ace Goodman)
Right now I'm just down with my sister, LaTonya. I live with her on Long Island. She's my co-manager along with my other manager. (Ace Goodman)
Right now I'm kind of cool with being single and being free. (Ace Goodman)
