I didn't put out this album because I wanted everybody to know I was grown up. I'm 21 and that's not grown up.

The best part about being alone is that you really don't have to answer to anybody. You do what you want.

I think with each generation comes more opportunity. At least that's the way that I see it. I grew up in a generation that watched the birth of the internet. We all have. But I feel like I look around at the generation younger than me and it's a very opportunistic mantra.

The gray area, the place between black and white - that's the place where life happens.

I'm a mutt as far as music is concerned, because I listen to everything.

"Celebrity" is sort of an idea. I mean, I get to do something extraordinary, but I don't think it makes me extraordinary. That's my opinion. I like to be an artist, I like to do things that are involved in the arts, but I don't think it makes me more special than a doctor, for example. A doctor is an extraordinary person. Doctors should be celebrities. We just entertain people. They save lives.

I needed freedom to really express myself. That's really what Justified is about.
