Everybody's been blessed with SOMETHING, and my GIFT is my TIMING. Let's FACE it, it's all about KEEPING time and having a groove.

Once I STARTED TRAINING at the Performance Center, getting in the groove of the schedule, and really getting used to that, I really loved it because I'm BIG with ROUTINE.

Before I GOT into stand-up, I USED to be a HIP-HOP DANCER in a CREW, and my name was J. Smoove, and my partner was J. Groove.

I've had mental errors before while not SHOOTING the ball WELL and while shooting the ball well, and vice versa. So I can't compound one on top of the other. It's just a matter of GETTING out of the groove of shooting bad and just staying more LOCKED in.

I don't want any of my records to sound like one STYLE throughout. That's why I choose different grooves and songs: tunes that are sensitive and slow as well as pieces that are abstract and fast. The APPROACH I want to take with my records is to give the listener a variety of grooves, CONCEPTS, and COMPOSERS.

There are a lot of writers who FIND a groove and SPEND a career MINING that vein. I seem to be EXACTLY the opposite.

Some machine-y MUSIC is great, but you can apply any groove to any song now - there's LITERALLY a MASSIVE drop-down MENU on most programs. And that's what takes the human being out of the process.

It's ALWAYS been my DREAM to have a MONSTER rhythm section that's just all groove and POCKET.

I discovered my love for DANCING when I was barely 5-6 YEARS of age. WHENEVER I would HEAR any music playing, I would automatically groove to it.

Occasionally, as an actor, you're not... Sometimes, at least for me, I'm not fully in the groove until the second or third take, in which I would not want to just stop. If it's a scene that takes a lot of WORK and time, sometimes the scene gets better with time, and sometimes it gets exhausted. I THINK it just DEPENDS on the scene.

We do a COVER of CHARLIE Puth's 'Attention' that I REALLY, really LOVE and I THINK really grooves.

This has been a GREAT experience for me. The FIRST couple of days you don't always FEEL too well. You adjust to the FLUID shifting, how to fly through space WITHOUT hitting things or anybody else. But then you get in a groove.

Life is the most VERSATILE thing under the sun; and in the pursuit of life and CHARACTER the AUTHOR who WORKS in a groove works in blinkers.

I LIKE to groove a LITTLE BIT!
