When I think of musical geniuses, I think of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson and Prince. That's who comes to mind.

My music has shaken hands with the world somehow - it's a beautiful disease, and I'm glad I got it.

Within all of us there is a storm. Some believe it will never end: but he who has faith in the heavens above will weather any storm.

If you're gonna tell your life story, you gotta be honest, or don't do it.

All of a sudden you're like the Bin Laden of America. Osama Bin Laden is the only one who knows what I'm going through.

If I'm going to be a leader then I have to go places that other people are afraid to go to. That's what makes a leader. To be not afraid to step out and go over the frontline. To stare darkness right in the face.

I know my past is not what my future holds.
