Personally, I think you can put any interpretation you want on anything, but when someone suggests that Can't Buy Me Love is about a prostitute, I draw the line. That's going too far.

You can do whatever you like with my image, my music, remix it, re-release it, whatever... just never make me boring.

My songs are like Bic razors. For fun, for modern consumption. You listen to it, like it, discard it, then on to the next. Disposable pop.

Rap is not music, it's talking.

I think The Grateful Dead kind of represents the spirit of being able to go out and have an adventure in America at large.

When the punk thing came along and I heard my friends saying, I hate these people with the pins in their ears. I said, Thank God, something got their attention.
