I do worry – a lot.

More idiots should just shut their mouths.

I’ve had tinnitus for about ten years, and since I started protecting my ears it hasn’t got any worse – touch wood.

Anyone who criticises me for talking about fair trade is a few pebbles short of a beach. Because everyone should care about it, just like everyone should care about the environment, because we all live here.

Well, once we finish something, I can’t really listen to it because all I hear are problems.

Sometimes we have criticism that is very constructive.

There’s only one person for every job. You can try all you want, but if you’re not right for it, you’re not gonna get it.

Cocaine is God’s way of saying that you’re making too much money.

I love hearing educated people talk and just shut everyone up. Knowledge is always the loudest voice.

I’m the closest that hip-hop is getting to God. In some situations I’m like a ghetto Pope.

More idiots should just shut their mouths.

If you don’t know what it is, don’t mess with it

When Yale reached out, I thought it was a hoax, but they really followed through.

I started working on trying to sound like June from the very beginning.

I’m more of a writer than an actor, and I used to say that I’m mostly an improviser, though I haven’t improvised in awhile.

[on The Who’s performance at Woodstock] It was the worst gig we ever played.

[On his early day in the music business] I stepped on a lot of toes… at that time.

I want to spend time with Oprah, and I don’t know what I need to do to make that happen.

I come from a very small island which is packed with people. I mean, jam-packed with people. I’ve lived a life which has been pretty much full up with ambition, ideas, stimulus, creativity, some negativity which I try and avoid.

We’re ride or die. But I don’t accept the way we criticize and judge each other anymore. My personal growth doesn’t allow it.

Some people say, “Never let them see you cry.” I say, if you’re so mad you could just cry, then cry. It terrifies everyone.
