I've never done songs with people just for the sake of the great combination. I've always done songs with friends.

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

I remember coming home from school one time and saying very calmly to my mum, 'I'm not going any more. It's a waste of time. I gotta get going with this music thing. School's getting in the way.' It freaked her out.

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 don't steal things. I'm rich.

Detroit: Cars and rock 'n' roll. Not a bad combo.

I always believed it would happen and stuck to my guns.
