I do not like being famous. I like being normal.

It is not fun singing about losing somebody like that, but at the same time it was easy to write because the memories were so real and vivid and so much a part of who I am.

I've never been in the studio where it felt like I didn't have a voice. Whether I was co-producing or producing by myself, this community is the one place where I really see democracy at its purest.

Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.

I'm a musician, so for the most part I've always thought that the musicians were equally as inspiring to listen to - maybe more so, in some cases - in addition to the artists.

It's so much more interesting when you're human. I hate making mistakes, but I'm not afraid of 'em.

I am not struggling. What I do, it is what I do.
