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.

The confidence Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson exuded from stage, I'm a fan of.

I think I don't take myself too seriously. You know as far as, it's a fun life. I take my music serious, but I like to have fun.

Don't you love it that Prince doesn't use Twitter? Don't you think he's somewhere on a unicorn?

Ever since I was a kid, this was all I wanted to do. I've wanted to do music. I wanted to sing. It's all I know.

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.

If perfect's what you're searching for, then just stay the same.
