People don't make albums any more. It's always about singles. I wanted to take that old-school approach.

I take cabs if I need to get somewhere or I take car service. I don't drive, I wouldn't mind riding a bike... People think that because you become an entertainer you gotta have this rock star thug image. I'm an artist, man. I'm going to live like an artist.

I used to go to Saks, I would go to Bergdorf, I would go to Barneys, I would go to thrift stores in SoHo.

I used to be homophobic, but as I got older, I realized that wasn't the way to do things. I don't discriminate against anybody for their sexual preference, for their skin color... that's immature.

I'm a people's person, believe it or not. I just have a dark side to me, which we all do.

Design my own line? No, I just like the culture.

A lot of energy and excitement - that's what a lot of my shows are, energy and excitement.
