I have a strict policy that nobody cries alone in my presence.

I write anywhere. I'm always banging around on the dashboard. Whatever I'm doing. I can make music out of anything. Whenever a song hits me, I'll pick some sort of melody or rhythm out on it, and kind of enhance the song.

I think I've got my business notions and my sense for that sort of thing from my dad. My dad never had a chance to go to school. He couldn't read and write. But he was so smart. He was just one of those people that could just make the most of anything and everything that he had to work with.

I've done everything every fat person ever has. I've tried every diet.

I grew up around lots of men - my father, my brothers, my uncles - so I wasn't intimidated by them.

My grandpa was a preacher.

I think that all creative people are a little bit nuts.
