I think the Grammys are nothing more than some gigantic promotional machine for the music industry. They cater to a low intellect and they feed the masses. They don't honor the arts or the artist for what he created. It's the music business celebrating itself.

It's kind of limiting using your intellect to write songs like Brown Sugar, isn't it? The only thing I'm really interested in is comparative religion and ancient history.

You just can't be calling us fakers and pretenders and non-creative and say we can't freestyle.

When I hear something that comes from me that makes me fall down off my chair, it's not often.

Anyone who lip-synchs in public on stage when you pay 75 pounds to see them should be shot.

You don't expect music to be brilliant when the films are so bad.
