I see the people in Detroit are very - they're like a lot of cities, but they're very proud to be from there and they really want to see change and they really want to see good things happen.

I don't read books. I like to read newspapers and magazines, but I've never learnt to enjoy books or novels.

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

I just feel fortune just to have been lucky enough, and worked hard enough, and blessed.

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.

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

There's so many examples of just how lucky we are to be born anywhere in this world that is free.
