There's some people that are 24 hours with the baby and it doesn't make a difference. They could be anywhere.

A parent that's upset or resentful is not going to be a great paren.

All I tell artists is, 'Do what you love. Never let anybody talk you into changing what your musical idea is just to try to get a hit, because you're chasing your tail that way. It's not going to happen, and if you're successful, you have to do it the rest of your life. Stay true to it and do it for the sake of the art.'

Sometimes parents, when they have a lot of small children, it's hard because your time's got to get divvied up. There's no other way.

If there's ever been a dark moment in my life... well, I wanted to check out. Music was a big escape.

You want your fans to like what you do, because it's coming from your heart and soul. You write it, you produce this thing. It's like your baby.
