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.

I've paid for more pianos in hotel lobbies than you can imagine.

I do not believe that artists or actors and people should be out there like voicing their full-blown opinions on politics because, let's face it, at the end of the day, I'm not that smart of a guy.

Whatever your craft is, be a master of it. Being half assed at something, people will eventually see through.

It's not that I'm Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes now, but I've got my priorities in order.

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

I've just really been into melody and lyrics and songwriting. Writing a rap, to me, is easy. I could write a rap like that. But writing songs and melodies and s**t that's hopefully going to stick around for 30, 40 years is f**king hard...If you have good songs and you're talented, people will eventually come to your shows, people will buy your music.
