You can't hold the record forever, and I know that. I'm not stupid.

I work with a lot of different charities, and by that I don't mean merely by giving money, but by really getting involved hands-on. I've always said that one of the reasons why I was put on this Earth was to help people. That's something I've always enjoyed both here in America and if I have the opportunity when I'm traveling out of the country. For example, I like to visit orphanages to spend time with the children. That's very important to me.

I've talked about sex a great deal in my music for a great while now. I feel very comfortable with it.

You get yourself up for it somehow, and your endurance and the crowd gets you up, too.

To a world sick with racism, get well soon.

No word is absolutely wrong or dirty or insulting. It all depends upon context and intention.

A lot of my friends they call me 'the therapist'. They come to me looking for advice. I must be doing something right because they keep coming back. But I'm not very good at kind of looking into my own world and trying to pick apart what is really wrong and fix those things. I like to kind of shy away from certain issues and turn away.
