Screamin' 'Carpe Diem!' until I'm a Dead Poet.

I'm a mirror. If you're cool with me, I'm cool with you, and the exchange starts. What you see is what you reflect. If you don't like what you see, then you've done something. If I'm standoffish, that's because you are.

My brands are an extension of me. They're close to me. It's not like running GM, where there's no emotional attachment.

There's the gift, there's the spirit, and there's the work-all three have to come together. If one of those things is off, it can stop you from becoming who you were meant to be.

Jealousy’s a weak emotion.

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.

You put the right artist on the right track in the studio and leave the door open to let God in.
