I'm always looking for new talent.

I didn't want to do a throwaway, mindless movie with fart jokes just to make 6-year-olds laugh. I want to provide my children with some substance.

I do think that some bands seem to be dabbling in the rock-hip-hop world and are not necessarily serious about it.

My life. The life I'm living that's where all my inspiration comes from. Real life experiences.

Anybody who wears their feelings on their sleeve and has a harder, crusty shell - like I do - is definitely protecting an inner sensitivity.

I love collaborating.

Everybody loves the underdog, and then they take an underdog and make him a hero and they hate him.
