I don't allow chivalry to die, on my part, but as far as guys taking care of their woman, and, making sure that it's not all about self, it's about giving, and how a lot of guys don't groom themselves, how a lot of guys don't take care of themselves.

To get nominated, and a lot of people get nominated and say they're glad to be nominated but I wanna win! I want to win!

What excites me is doing shows now. I don't really get excitement from doing music because you never know what your music is going to bring. It seems like now it's all for nothing.

I mean the business is just so rough man, people always think the business is easy, and the business is very rough. This is probably the worst business that you can get in, as far as, business-wise.

I just go in the studio and do what I love to do. People will be people, they'll come and go, they'll like you then not like you, I just try to stay true to myself first and that's what most important because that way when you are successful you can stand up and say look, I did it my way and I did it the way that I wanted to do it.

I always loved music and I always loved to perform, and that's my favorite part, to perform; my favorite part is not the studio, I can't stand the studio.

You always measure success by what you did last. It's hard to measure that because it's something that just comes. If someone can just make a hit, they would do it everyday. But you can't make a hit that you know is a hit every day.
