People in north Michigan are not different at all from people in southern Alabama. Trust me, someone who's spent a lot of time in both places. They're all hardworking, simple people.

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

My take on rap is driven by straightforward American southern rock and blues.

I make a lot of money. I can take a pay cut. All my friends are taking pay cuts that are in the unions, that are - that are farming in Alabama or whatever it is. I can surely take a pay cut, too, not cutting down my show or - or the people that work for me, I can take a pay cut.

I always say getting married was a ball. I had a blast getting married. Loved it so much I got married six or seven times or whatever it was.

Whatever your craft is, be a master of it. Being half assed at something, people will eventually see through.

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.
