Everybody wants me to be the (guy) who's (sleeping with) every celebrity woman in the industry. Everybody wants me to be this (guy) in the club, popping 17 bottles just because. Everybody wants me to be Diddy, and that's not me.

I named my album Year of the Gentleman. Just looking at how the essence of what it is to be a gentleman is very much lacking nowadays. Someone said to me that chivalry is dead, and I hated to have to agree, but it's true.

An idea that will translate really well musically should work visually. I try to write music that you can feel if you were to close your eyes you can see what I am talking about.

The essence of being a gentleman is to understand the way you're supposed to treat a respectable woman.

My style is mainly about comfort. It has to be comfortable, it has to lay right on me, know what I mean?

I watch cartoons the way most adults watch reality-TV shows.
