My fans and I have that special connection because whenever we talk on Twitter and Facebook we really have that one on one connection and I feel that's important.

Not 'I don't give a f-' to just be reckless and do whatever, but 'I don't give a f- what they say.' … I know who I am and what I'm doing in my life and what I've accomplished and continue to accomplish as a performer, as a writer, as an artist, as a person, as a human being. I'm happy with the man I'm becoming.

I'm still rough around the edges. I grew up with not a lot of money, and just played sports my whole life. So you develop the sports-mouth with all of your friends.

I turned a lot of people off over the past few years, but I know I can still turn out good music and turn everything all around, i've lost some of my best qualities. For that, I am sorry.

The Key means a lot to me as a powerful symbol to believe, and this new fragrance is my message to my fans to always believe in their dreams.

Always keep looking forward, and never look back.

I'm not hiding from anyone. I am who I am, and I'm not perfect.
