I listen to a lot of alternative types of music: I listen to a lot of Chinese music, I listen to a lot of Asian music. It might surprise you, but I listen to a lot of Arabic music. And I don't care - music is music.

I been through some junk. It ain't all been peaches and cream.

I know somebody in every culture.

People do not respect music anymore... They go by what's hot... If you're hot, you deserve 4 or 5 Grammys... Madonna is a genius and she only has 2 or 3 Grammys... What is that about?

I'm weird, I do crazy things, it's not like the average norm.

You don't question where the music comes from, because it all comes from God.

It hurts when people put you down.
