I think there's too much of the wrong type of influences that stem from hip-hop.

The world sucks, man. But Tesla does have a mid-size sedan now, and that's very important to the future.

Hip-hop culture is deeply rooted in the wrong things. Hip-hop is about drugs right now. It's more so about drugs - about selling drugs, about using drugs - it's bad for kids.

I wouldn't say I fear the future.

I was never like, "Oh man, I want a Grammy and I'll do whatever it takes". Someone like that might not do what it takes to have a decent touring career, because they're in the studio trying to master whatever they're doing to win a Grammy.

I wake up sometimes with an idea and then I write it down. It's not necessarily easy, but when you focus on something it comes.

When you have this job [as an entertainer] you're suddenly not a person anymore.
