I was an adult when I was supposed to be a kid. So now I'm an adult and I'm acting like a kid.

As it gets closer and more probable, being a star is really losing its meaning.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state, sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I don't see myself being special; I just see myself having more responsibilities than the next man. People look to me to do things for them, to have answers.

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.

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