I don't even listen to rap. My apartment is too nice to listen to rap in.

I'm on the pursuit of awesomeness, excellence is the bare minimum.

If I don't win, the award show loses credibility.

I don't care about having a legacy, I don't care about being remembered. The most important thing to me is, while we're here, while we're having fun, while we're sleeping, breathng oxygen, living life, falling in love, having pain and having joy...what can we do with our voice to make things easier, to help someone to make it better for our kids.

Maybe 90 percent of the time it looks like I'm not having a good time.

To use is necessary. And if you can't be used, then you're useless.

In America, they want you to accomplish these great feats, to pull off these David Copperfield-type stunts. You want me to be great, but you don't ever want me to say I'm great?
