Try to be the king, but the ace is back.

It's always been difficult to make a good record. To be perfectly honest with you, it's really about the person that's pushing the buttons. No matter what type of equipment you have, you still have to have a certain talent to be able to make a good record.

It ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em.

I don't even listen to the records after they come out. It's outlawed in my house. My wife and my kids can't play any of my music around me. Once it comes out, for me, it's just business. Numbers.

I'm bad for your health, like puttin' a pistol up to your face and blastin' yourself.

And even when I was close to defeat, I rose to my feet.

When the ideas are coming, I don't stop until the ideas stop because that train doesn't come along all the time.
