The beautiful thing about my intelligence is that it doesn't really come in one specific department. So even if something hasn't happened to me, I have information on how to get you through whatever you may be going through.

I think right now a lot of albums that are out there, they sound like mixtapes.

People are dream killers--you've got to be careful who you give emotional access to.

I think ultimately a fan is a fan and you can't put new things on the fans mind if you don't have an audience.

I have no complaints. I've worked with worse directors in my career.

Other peoples' success represents the possibility of what you can do.

It's about giving the people what they want. So many people have told me that they've made love to my records so what I've delivered this time is an album about sex. Pretty much every song has that theme. Straight no chasers, it's booty music!
