When interviewers ask me who I'm sleeping with or if I don't like such-and-such or what is my sexuality, that's not beneficial to the world. They need to ask me about stuff that may help readers, like how my father abused my mother for many years. A lot of kids go through that and need to know what they should do.

Hip-hop is definitely not what it used to be, which was creative, original music.

Every day is not a beautiful day for anybody, but I try to treat all my fans nice and all the interviewers nice.

I'm not tryin' to come off as the best lyricist.

I don't have time for lie-on-the-beach vacations. I'm a zoo person. There's one in New Jersey where animals actually come up to your car. I love the monkeys - I used to give them bubblegum to chew.

No, because I don't want to hear what's hot and feel I have to copy it. I'll just make up my own thing.

The double chin's not good for the red carpet.
