I don't make music to prove all the critics wrong. I do it to prove all my fans right.

I don't write songs thinking about formats, where is it going to get played, who am I gonna please, what's the outlet for it.

The program director at a radio station, by the way, is not the superstar. If he was a superstar, he'd be out creating songs, but he's not. But he wants to act like he has control and power.

That's what I love from metal, and that's what I love from hip-hop. That's what I love from any music that's hard, that's got an edge to it-The attitude in it.

But I'm a great father. That's why I got custody.

I don't steal things. I'm rich.

I still love old-school hip-hop, but there hasn't been a lot that I've taken from the new stuff.
