I'm just a cool type of guy who's all about positives.

I don't need a sensationalized headline to sell music or to bring attention to my music. It's the music and it's always been about the music.

The music is first and foremost everything - no egos, no attitude, nothing - it's about the music.

I'm not pro-government at all, I'm pro-people.

I think remixes give songs more life.

My kids listen to everything because I listen to everything, so it's not far-fetched to hear them playing Metallica and then playing A Tribe Called Quest or N.W.A.

Look, I got 11,052 songs on my iPod. Cyndi Lauper, Guns N' Roses, Geto Boys, N.W.A. push shuffle and anything will come on.
