Great art comes from great artists. There’s a bunch of people that are hurt that still couldn’t have made the album that was super-polarizing and redefined the sound of radio.

I am Warhol. I am the No. 1 most impactful artist of our generation. I am Shakespeare in the flesh.

I try to deliver because I don't believe that people are deliverin' the same quality of albums.

If you’re a Kanye West fan, you’re not a fan of me, you’re a fan of yourself. You will believe in yourself. I’m just the espresso.

Thank God I'm not too cool for a seatbelt.

Love your haters - they're your biggest fans

What is the definition of cool? Michael Jackson made “Heal the World.” He could do that because he was golden. He was himself. He didn't have to try to be cool. Think about a lot of your favorite bands or groups. Would they make a song called “Heal the World”? No, because they are too concerned about their leather jackets. Ironically, they are probably wearing leather jackets because of Michael Jackson.
