Be loyal to your own piece of mind.

Ain't nobody gonna care enough to catch you fall.

Im the most boring person to talk to.

Once youve changed who you are or who youve portrayed in your music, the fans, theyll catch it... Once I feel like the world knows me for anything else but my music, then I feel like I failed.

When Michael (Jackson) died, it felt like part of my family died. I want [my fans] to know that my music is for them and if, god forbid, anything happened [to me], it would be like a piece of them is gone.

I went from staring at the same four walls for 21 years to seeing the whole world in just 12 months.

What does it mean when your heart's already numb? You're a professional.
