I love to just go to the movies, watch movies, listen to the scores and all that 'cause that's, like, the next step for me.

I just like music all the way around the board. I can't stick to one thing - I've got to move around.

I always feel like 'as long as I'm doin' what I love to do, the money's naturally gonna come.' When you start thinkin' business and you start thinkin' 'What's hot? What's the wave? Who is hot? Let's get at that person,' it becomes a point where you're tryin' to strategize to make money. And that's always a gamble.

I don't want to know I'm getting older. Then I'll start to think about getting checkups and insurance. I don't want that.

Any album that you pick up of mine, you know it's an Akon album. The guests are very limited and you get to really feel the experience. You get the Akon experience when you get the albums. I always want to make sure that stays the way it is. I don't want to flood the album to where you lose focus on why you bought it.

The moment artists can just do what they love to do then music will go right back to where it used to be. I mean back in the '60s and '70s and '80s, that's what it was.

I love to just go to the movies, watch movies, listen to the scores and all that 'cause that's, like, the next step for me.
