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

I'm no saint but I do believe in what is right.

I just wasn't raised a granola eating, peace love hippie type person. I'm from Michigan and was raised in and around Detroit where it is kind of you get respect and you give respect. That is how I feel.

There's always a Justin Bieber. Ever since I've been around, there's always been one of him.

Of course I want people to show up to the concerts and I am sure for that to decline would be a difficult thing.

I like to make music, I like rap music. Even if I'm white, I support that music. If I want to support it or any other white kid wants to support it more power to them.

They believed you can't mix rock, country, and rap, and that crossover is dead. I always knew it would work. And it will always work as long as you're really into it and like what you're doing.
