You have to do what you need to do as an artist. You have to have that courage.

You been around enough to see that if you think you're it, you better check with me.

People hang their hopes on you fitting into their CD collection in way that they have made a space for, but I'm playing a longer game than that.

You're really creative when you're in an environment that you don't know how to handle. So collaborating was like that for me. I think that was one of the reasons why I knew I was gonna get a challenging reaction.

Just to prove i was right that it's harder to be friends than lovers and you shouldn't try and mix the two, cause if you do and then you're still unhappy, then you know that the problem is you.

That's what music is to me. Like, stuff that I really like to play loud. And I've got my quiet CDs, too, that I listen to around the house, but if you can't go there, then... Everyone gets so upset with me, I can't win

It’s nice to be liked, but it’s better by far to get paid.
