It doesn't matter the genre or type of art, if it's authentic there's an apparent beauty to it and as an artist, that's very inspiring.

As I've gotten older, now I've really got to back that up with record sales. Anytime showed me that I could still have some of those elements I wanted, but you still have to come with hit after hit after hit.

I decided I am not going to say things I do not mean anymore.

I hope at some point in my career when my name is mentioned, someone will say "Oh yeah he has a good song!" I'd be happy with that.

People don't like when you point out to them and remind them that they're not very smart.

I just want to be as creative as I possibly can.

I'm never satisfied with what I do.
