I believe hip hop is being used in some mass way to influence underachievement.

Tolerance, compromise, understanding, acceptance, patience - I want those all to be very sharp tools in my shed.

The fact that you can love something that you've lost is all the incentive you need to love again, as opposed to becoming comfortably numb.

I don't judge people. I don't even judge people on 'The Voice.' I'm a coach. I'm there for constructive criticism and to aid and abet and discover new talent.

I don't sell dope, I sell hope.

Others tell like it is, while I tell it how I would like it to be.

I cry all the time. Music makes me cry.
