My brother brought home 'At San Quentin' when I was about 7, and we played it over and over again.

I'm not a lyric writer to make statements. What I enjoy doing is making paintings with lyrics, creating colorful images. I think that's more what entertainment and music should be.

I play Texas Hold'em on my Blackberry. I have amassed a fortune on that. I have almost 30 million dollars from playing. It is unreal.

What do you think Jesus would twitter, 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone' or 'Has anyone seen Judas? He was here a minute ago.'

The reason there's no modern-day Shakespeare is because he didn't have anything to do except sit in a room with a candle and think.

I feel like you're not a real musician or entertainer if you can't go into a room, pick up an instrument and entertain people.

At the end of the day it's the fans who make you who you are.

The freedom I have as a U.S. citizen is unparalleled. Despite the fact people may not like American passports, having that passport affords me more freedoms than any other passport could.

In the United States, workouts tend to focus on body image and how you look. For me, it's really all about the brain.

I never wrote music or arranged songs or lyrics when I was under the influence of anything but coffee. That's not gone away.
