Make no mistake: Bob Ritchie's up early in the morning taking pictures of his son on the first day of his senior year. Kid Rock is passed out in a hotel room somewhere with four scantily-clad women.

I didn't want to go out and change anything. I just wanted to make the music that was part of my background, which was rock and blues and hip-hop.

I've always made music from the heart, and that's what I do.

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

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.

A common man, even like myself, I don't know how to pay my taxes.
