Playing a concert for 2 hours is pie. I would do that every minute of every day if I could. I love to perform. It's the 22 hours before the next show that kills you.

The personal antics have overshadowed the music. I never wanted that but I knew what I was getting into when I got into everything I got into.

I truly believe that people like myself, who are in a position of entertainers in the limelight, should keep their mouth shut on politics.

A lot of people told me that I'm committing musical suicide with my sound.

Well, I was into music since I was a kid, ya know, back in Detroit. I say Detroit, but it was really a little suburb outside the city called Romeo.

I like to make music, I like rap music. Even if I'm white, I support that music. If I want to support it or any other white kid wants to support it more power to them.

I never said I wanted to be around for a long time. I always said I wanted to be here for a good time.
