There's only one type of music and that's good music, no matter what genre it is.

I was born and raised in the ghetto, on welfare, two minutes from homeless.

If countries were people, England and France would be old men. Italy would be dead. Compared with them, America is in its 20s.

Pop is the most competitive form of music there is. You are always fighting to be adopted and accepted by the masses, and it's always shifting.

But Michael Jackson didn't have perfect diction - He said 'chamone' instead of 'come on'.

Disco is the first technology music. And what I mean is that 'disco' music is named after discs, because when technology grew to where they didn't need a band in the clubs, the DJ played it on a disc.

I can't sing “I Believe I Can Fly”. I sing that horrible. But I can sing “I Gotta Feeling” good. I wrote it for my capabilities. So I Gotta Feeling is just about let me make a song to inspire people to have a good time.
