Going out hanging out with the troops, and you know it's kind of all summed up in the TV show, I don't what else I can say about it. It's a great thing to do, something I'm definitely proud of.

I love to be pushed so I can prove myself, because once again, I will.

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.

Chris Rock is a good friend of mine, and he is hysterical.

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.

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

It's not that I'm Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes now, but I've got my priorities in order.
