I equally love both, classic rock and hip-hop. I love all music, really, and I really use classic rock a lot. I'm heavily influenced by that melodically in my music. I can't really separate the two.

I just want to make a classic. Classic is the standard. I'm just trying to make music that will last a lifetime.

This is hip-hop. If you've got something you want to rap about, just rap about it, man.

I do so much music that it's like a fog, and I can't even remember all of it.

The best part of performing is the people. I love interacting with people. My favorite part is the crowd. I love rocking out with the crowd, that's definitely the best part.

I think any artist that's going to become anything in this world faces humility: with great humility comes great success.

Yeah, I have animosity, a chip on my shoulder. But I love, too.
