Music is all I know.
I cried, I was so overwhelmed to meet Michael Jackson.
When you fall in love, you wanna share it with people but you know there are some things that you need to keep to yourself, ’cause privacy makes things last longer, I feel.
You do not send me to Brooklyn to get a cheesecake and then I come back and you’re gone.
I wanna sing about something that’s sexy and edgy.
I was rapping as a hobby. It was something I did for my friends and just played around on ideas and stuff like that.
My daughter is in love with Adele. She listens to her every day. To see someone with that much passion and soul move a 9-year-old is amazing and it’s magical.
I don’t want to be somebody else.
But I have to be careful not to let the world dazzle me so much that I forget that I’m a husband and a father.
We need to stop talking about whether women are funny. And we need to acknowledge that black people are funnier than white people. Let’s discuss that.
[on having a baby] Obviously, this isn’t the time in my life that I would have chosen to do this, but I feel like life gives you these challenges for a reason. I feel so happy and glad to be in the place that I am. I really feel blessed. This is something I need to face and take control of.
I’m like one of those firecrackers that goes off in your pocket occasionally. I’m not really struggling with it as much as the people around me. But at least I’m not doing too much damage to anybody or to myself. It’s just the condition I’m aware of.

I don’t now what situation they came from and I don’t know what they were offered to go somewhere else. It’s the times now, There’s not a any loyalty for anyone or anything – a whole lot. Wherever the money’s at, that’s where they’re going, so I don’t blame them. They’ve got just a few years to get it done and if they don’t get it done then, then they aren’t going to get it done.
I’m a bit of a P.T. Barnum. I make stars out of everyone.
[On roles resembling the title character in ‘Penelope’] I like this girl because she is a bit of a bad-ass. I grew up watching movies with people like Barbara Stanwyck, and sometimes I get frustrated that there aren’t a lot of great female characters out there that young women can look at and go, ‘I want to be like that’. I go to movies and yell at the women on-screen, ‘Shoot him; just shoot him.’ I mean, why why does the guy always have to shoot him?
I dig chicks that have their own careers that have nothing to do with music. Chicks in the music business try to impress you with it.I like models.
Being a mom has made me so tired. And so happy.
