So if anybody wants to get me something, get me 60 crabs - one for each year. I don't want no diamonds, I don't want no shoes, I don't want no party. I want some crabs.

I know how to put it on when it comes to interviews and performing because I have to. But I'm pretty laid back.

I've had 60 years of ups and downs, and all of the downs that I've had, I'm happy that I've had them because it's taught me to appreciate all the ups.

I've never been with a woman, so I guess I'm straight, OK? But I'm straight enough to know the difference between right and wrong. I am straight enough to know that if you want to marry whoever you want to marry, you should be able to marry whoever you want to marry

Every exit is an entrance to someplace else.

I like hip-hop music, but some of the lyrics make me want to cry.

I love Canadians because I don't see very much racism in Canada.
