I hate the business part of music. Music is just like the streets. There's loyal and disloyal people, people saying one thing and then don't do it.

I would definitely want a hit record, but I still want the success to be around the album. Only the music can help me.

One thing I'm big on is believing in giving an album time. I'll say you'll have to give an album three years before you can call it a classic. If you can't listen to it three years later then it's not really a classic.

I got a Lucifer soul. I'll be the Devil's son, Devil's work, gettin' work.

People saying that you been robbed is almost better than winning a Grammy.

I think, sometimes, artists release music too fast. If you just sit back and listen to the track for a little bit you could pick and choose how you want to do it and see if you really feel the song, because sometimes you might not even like the song after a few listens.

I never wanna have a time where I'm on the big lawn just sitting back smoking cigars and drinking lemonade. I wanna work forever. Until I die. I wanna die on the way to a show.
