I've just really been into melody and lyrics and songwriting. Writing a rap, to me, is easy. I could write a rap like that. But writing songs and melodies and s**t that's hopefully going to stick around for 30, 40 years is f**king hard...If you have good songs and you're talented, people will eventually come to your shows, people will buy your music.

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

People ask all the time, 'What would you be doing if you weren't Kid Rock?' It's simple: I'd be broke Kid Rock.

I'm single and loving it. It is always weird talking about that stuff. When someone is talking about who they are going out with, I am always like, who cares? Talk about your music or something.

If people had good albums, they'd be buying albums. But people are buying singles because they only have good songs.

I take the invasion of my personal space very seriously...

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