I've been very blessed in my personal life and in my career and I have never been ungrateful for what I have.

I try to get that across in the work, to try to, if I'm lucky, to make this world a little bit better for all of us before I check out. And that's if I'm lucky, I don't always get to have that privilege but I try always.

The best work I can do is to take myself as much as I can out of it and get it as simple as I can.

I desperately want to see the day today and do the best I can not miss a shred of sunlight. It'll be over before I know it.

I'm blessed. I have a 13-year-old girl's eye and a 14 year-old boy's eye. I've been given the gift of sight by people who decided to donate organs. I try to do as much organ-donor work as I can.

I'm lyrically driven, I'm not musically driven.

No one is going to beat the crap out of me more than me.
