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

I want as many people as possible to hear my music. I'm happy to entertain people by being a star.

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

Athletes and musicians make astronomical amounts of money. People get paid $100 million to throw a baseball! Shouldn't we all take less and pass some of that money onto others? Think about firefighters, teachers and policemen. We should celebrate people that are intellectually smart and trying to make this world a better place.

I am happy to make money. I want to make more money, make more music, eat Big Macs and drink Budweisers.

I really believe it's the old cliché, the more you give the more you receive. I'm living proof of that.

I've got my own studio, so I sit in my studio writing and if I get a great take, that's the take.
