I have been told by people that I should not be seen clubbing with good-looking women, but I can't see why not. Why be a pop star otherwise?

If the Army helped towards my tuition fees I would then give them four years of my life.

I write, "Give me reason but don't give me choice, because I'll make the same mistake again." I think that's what most men want to be told.

I know I'm a pop star. But sometime I'd like to be a rock star.

Every person I've met has influenced my songs.

I don't know how to write without thinking what people would want. You don't know whether they want you to be black or white, so you kind of get a gray, something in the middle.

My dad was in the Army. The Army's not great pay, but, you know, we moved from Army patch to Army patch wherever that was. The Army also contributed to sending me off to boarding school.
