I always say I wanna work with Alicia Keys. I'm in awe of her.

My dream was to not get a day job but to sleep, wake up and do my music. I want to keep that dream forever.

You aspire to be as great as Michael Jackson is as an artist. I don't think any artist in pop, rock or hip-hop has ever done it any bigger than him. You know what I mean? He's the man.

I love the Sex Pistols. I'm a big Beach Boys fan and a huge Zeppelin and Queen fan.

Today, I'd like to talk to Bob Marley. I'd just like to ask him what was his method. Bob is one of the greatest songwriters ever. I don't know if people understand how powerful his songs are and the simplicity and genius behind them, from 'Redemption Song' to 'Is This Love?' and 'I Shot the Sheriff.'

I could sing you a thousand and one doo-wop songs. I love the simplicity in that music. It's not super-poetic, it's just from the heart.

I grew up with so many different songs that the ones that are fun to play are the ones I want to do.
