If I said in one of my songs that my English teacher wanted to have sex with me in junior high, all I'm saying, is that I'm not gay, you know? People confuse the lyrics for me speaking my mind. I don't agree with that lifestyle, but if that lifestyle is for you, then it's your business.

I haven't had a perfect career. I've put some albums out that, looking back, I'm not super proud of, but there's also a lot of stuff that I am very proud of.

Though I'm not the first king of controversy, I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley. To do black music so selfishly, and use it to get myself wealthy.

Just promise me you'll think of me everytime you look up in the sky and see a star

Everybody has goals, aspirations or whatever, and everybody has been at a point in their life where nobody believed in them.

My father? I never knew him. Never even seen a picture of him.

I don't know why this world keeps turning, round and round. But I wish it would stop and let me off right now!
