That's why I called my record Devil Without a Cause - I'm a white boy who's so sick of hearing that white kids are going to steal rap.

I bought a book of Mark Twain quotes. That's about my speed. I'll read a couple quotes and put it down.

I don't write songs thinking about formats, where is it going to get played, who am I gonna please, what's the outlet for it.

My son is a great kid and does super well in school. I couldn't be prouder of him. What I tell him is, 'You don't want to just be known for being the son of a rich rock 'n' roll star.' I've seen a lot of kids like that. I want him to be happy, work hard and create his own thing. I tell him, 'You're not gonna be one of these kids up on stage playing with me. If you wanna have hits - write your own. Then we can play together.'

I remember coming home from school one time and saying very calmly to my mum, 'I'm not going any more. It's a waste of time. I gotta get going with this music thing. School's getting in the way.' It freaked her out.

I don't want to be tied down. I don't want to settle down. I don't want I love you.

I could write a book on the things I've done drunk.
