I grew up not really having anything, so the idea that I can take care of my family and my friends now is a really cool bonus.

This is the city that taught me how to write all of these cool songs. Yeah, you guys definitely need a royalty.

I always tell my fans that are closest to me, if it's not coming from my mouth, my website, or my appointed person, then it's generally not true. Or it's an exaggeration.

I get a lot of the ideas when I'm resting - either when I'm meditating or getting some kind of work done on my back, like physical therapy or acupuncture. That's where I get my best ideas, maybe because I'm balancing my body.

I think Rihanna always looks so fresh and I'm like, "How do you do that? We all know how much pot you smoke!"

The first songs I wrote were catchy, but the subject matter was God.

I’m not Buddhist, I’m not Hindu, I’m not Christian, but I still feel like I have a deep connection with God.
