I do believe in standing up for what you believe in and your family and your friends.

I got into rock and roll to piss my parents off and the establishment around me.

Chris Rock is a good friend of mine, and he is hysterical.

As much as you don't want to say you are a vengeful person, when someone drags your name through the mud and plays press games and puts things out there like that, you are kind of like, alright. US Weekly will be gone next week, the songs I am writing won't.

I just wasn't raised a granola eating, peace love hippie type person. I'm from Michigan and was raised in and around Detroit where it is kind of you get respect and you give respect. That is how I feel.

If people had good albums, they'd be buying albums. But people are buying singles because they only have good songs.

I care less if I can't be part of your scene because I am the scene. I am everything that is.
