A lot of the problems I had with fame I was bringing on myself. A lot of self-loathing, a lot of woe-is-me. Now I'm learning to see the positive side of things, instead of, like, 'I can't go to Kmart. I can't take my kids to the haunted house.'

Throughout my career, I fed off the fuel of people not being able to understand me.

I'm very much a creature of habit.

With every song, all the elements have to work. First, the beat has to be great - you start there. You start with the music, and then the ideas follow. Then you start thinking of rhymes, and then you record it, and sometimes - this happens to me a lot - it doesn't come out as good as it did in my head when I first wrote it.

I always wished for this, but it's almost turning into more of a nightmare than a dream.

Seize the moment and dont squander it. Cause you never know when it all could be over.

You heard of hell, well I was sent from it.
