When I started out I thought I might make a little money, get some girls, get a taste of the rock 'n' roll life. It's gone way beyond that.

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.

I think celebrity endorsements hurt politicians.

I never said I wanted to be around for a long time. I always said I wanted to be here for a good time.

A lot of people told me that I'm committing musical suicide with my sound.

Are some women and children going to die? Yeah. But it's doing the right thing. You got money, you sit around talking about peace. People who don't have money need some help.

If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If its marketed right, you'll buy it. But... If its real... you'll feel it.
