After my second-to-last record called "The Greatest," I had gone on tour for a while and I didn't play an instrument for about five years. And I got kind of - it's not self-esteem or whatever, not anger towards myself - but disappointed in myself that I hadn't been challenging myself to learn musically.

Everybody tends to think I'm crazy, which is the biggest problem in my life.

People and their religions don't affect me.

I got more guts than brains, and that's my problem.

I got told so many times I needed a manager. For a long time I resisted, and I finally got one so I can pay my mortgage, and it helped me from becoming a homeless person.

I am human and I make mistakes.

Hip-hop and R&B is mostly what I listen to. I don't have a connection with punk rock - I just never had that experience.
