I felt like I didn't have [any] pizzazz, and a lot of girls say I'm out of this world, so I was like I guess I'm from Mars.

There will never be another Michael Jackson, a huge pop star since (the age of) 7.

When it's your time, it is your time.

I tend to overthink things. I'm not the guy who screams 'This is a world smash!' when I finish a song.

The drumming helps a lot when I'm producing songs or writing songs. My knowledge of drums helps more in that aspect, (although) I don't know, man; I'm not great at any of them.

You know, when Michael Jackson does the moonwalk, he's showing off! When Prince or Hendrix do a guitar solo, it's confidence! I would hate to be at a show and some nervous wreck is sweating up there and doesn't feel like he deserves to be there.

I just know that I'm a fan of all different kinds of genres. You're supposed to be free doing music, and that's how I feel.
