My shows aren't about trying to save some place, because I don't feel that's the right venue for it. That's my politics right there: Don't bring politics to my shows.

Everything I've done in my career has started in and around Detroit, you know, the metro area and Michigan.

I'm a bit of an insomniac. I'm always thinking. I've got a lot of ideas for lyrics and shows. I have a notepad by the side of the bed and voice recorders around the house.

I have been to anger management twice. After the first session the lady was like, 'Baby, you don't seem that angry at all. You seem like a really nice guy.'

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.

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

I'm all about change, and I know things are going to move forward in life, and that's just how it goes.
