I keep my enemies close/ I give 'em enough rope/ They put themselves in the air/ I just kick away the chair.

Without the work, the magic won’t come.

I am not a businessman. I am a business, man.

Can I hit it in the morning with out giving you have of my dough?

The fans get to see you, and you can do great by your record if you have a great performance or a great night there. That's all part of the business. But at their core, awards shows are not really a sincere thing. For a lot of years, the artists had to pay to play their own set.

We create music to express ourselves and when the world relates, that's a beautiful thing. We're all trading off each other's culture, so no matter what lines you put--country indie rock, rap, we're all somehow gonna find a way to come together.

It's hilarious a lot of times. You have a conversation with someone, and he's like, 'You speak so well!' I'm like, 'What do you mean? Do you understand that's an insult?
