If you get to be a really big headliner, you have to be prepared for people throwing bottles at you in the night.

People think they know you. They know the things about you that you have forgotten.

My mother has always been unhappy with what I do. She would rather I do something nicer, like be a bricklayer.

I don't even call them fans. I don't like that. They're literally just a part of my life; they're a part of my family. I don't think of them as on a lower level than me. I don't think I'm anything but equal to all of them. So yeah, they're basically all of my siblings.

People - especially white people - they want me to be a role model just because of the life I lead. The things I say in my songs, they expect it of me.

The secret to happiness is having low expectations.
