I don't rock for Cancer. I rock for cash, and the topless dancers.

People in north Michigan are not different at all from people in southern Alabama. Trust me, someone who's spent a lot of time in both places. They're all hardworking, simple people.

I'm thankful that I proved myself in music which is my first love, my first passion before I got involved in this media. I am hoping to bring it back to the music now.

And there's a feeling you get from making music that is unlike anything else in the world.

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.

That's why I called my record Devil Without a Cause - I'm a white boy who's so sick of hearing that white kids are going to steal rap.

I think I did every drug known to mankind, smoked crack, boozed, dropped acid, you name it.
