My dad said to me, 'Work hard and be patient.' It was the best advice he ever gave me. You have to put the hours in.

I have always hated celebrities lecturing people on politics.

They understand what their market is and who they should be selling records to, and most importantly, they know the kind of artist that they want to be, but they have to do it themselves. You don't want a 13-year-old singing some awful song from a musical.

Every show I've ever, you know, produced, essentially it's the show I want to watch myself.
