I don't judge too much as long as it's good. As long as it's good music and good artistry, I'm with it.

I don't call my people fans, I call them believers, because they go above and beyond.

It's easier to record in LA than in New York and Detroit, because the space in LA is green, and there's sunshine, and I need all those positive vibes.

I'm not that big, physically. I'm just big where it counts - I got a big heart!

Ariana is a huge supporter of mine; she's a big fan - she told me that when I met her. She's cool, her voice is crazy, she's got a great, great voice.

I work really hard - that doesn't mean I deserve anything, but it's really cool to see the positive reaction people give to something you worked so hard on. It's one of the best feelings.

From the inside looking out you can never see how it looks from the outside looking in.
