With the mega-fame came the mega-downfall - you know, with the press and everything - and at a young age, it was very stressful to me.

Negativity spreads faster than any Justin Bieber song.

My main thing is music; it's what I do.

I just kind of shoot the finger to the critics. I don't give sh - what a critic says. To me a critic is some loser who has no idea... someone with an opinion. We all have opinions.

I have a very broad demographic, from the 8-year-old who knows every word to 'Ice Ice Baby' and the college kid who grew up on 'Ninja Rap' to the soccer mom and grandparent.

I just kept it real and had the freedom to do what I want. It's not designed for any age group. It's not made for radio. There are no edits. The whole album contains explicit lyrics but that's because you need it.

I'm a Christian, but I don't believe in religion or anything like that.
