It took me a long, long time to learn what I now know, and I don't want that to die with me.

Critics don't bother me because if I do badly, I know I'm bad before they even write it. And if I'm good, I know I'm good. I know best about myself, so a critic doesn't anger me.

I think being jilted is one of life's most painful experiences. It takes a long time to heal a broken heart. It's happened to all of us and never gets any easier. I understand, however, that playing one of my albums can help.

You gotta love livin', baby, 'cause dyin' is a pain in the ass.

You buy a Ferrari when you want to be somebody. You buy a Lamborghini when you are somebody.

Whatever else has been said about me personally is unimportant. When I sing, I believe. I'm honest.

Never yawn in front of a lady.
