I have met Mariah before and she's really cool and so funny. Everyone has been given the wrong impression of her, and maybe it is her doing. But you have to remember that celebrities are always in the spotlight and are sometimes forced to conduct themselves in a different way than they normally do. That's how it is in the business. I have met artists who are real divas, but Mariah Carey is not one of them. She is a very sweet person, and what nobody sees off camera is the real person she is on the inside.

You can tell someone who doesn't have love in their life, then someone who is in love.

I wanted to talk about my life. There is so much. I was 18 when I made the record, and I had a lot to say.

People do see me as sweet and innocent. Not to say that I am not those things. But I have other sides to me.

I need you like the blues needs the pain.

There's other things I'd like to do. I probably won't tour for a very, very long time. It's something that you feel inside and that's the way I've been looking at everything.

I think it's great if a guy has a good sized package.
