I'm an artist, and I like the risk - I'm not in it for the sure things.

When it comes to the stage, I can't help but be inspired by people like George Clinton, Elton John and Alice Cooper.

I hate hateful people.

I don't sell dope, I sell hope.

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'm not classically trained, but I am flawed in a very fantastic way!

Well, I've cleaned bathrooms in a warehouse. That was pretty terrible. But I can't complain because I'm sure other people have done worse.
