I am happy to make money. I want to make more money, make more music, eat Big Macs and drink Budweisers.

Beyonce, to me, doesn't have a f--king 'Purple Rain', but she's the biggest thing on Earth. How can you be that big without at least one 'Sweet Home Alabama' or 'Old Time Rock & Roll'? People are like, 'Beyonce's hot. Got a nice f--king ass.' I'm like, 'Cool, I like skinny white chicks with big t--s.' Doesn't really f--king do much for me.

Surround yourself with good people. Whether they're the best or not, people are capable of learning if they've got good hearts and they're good souls.
