I don't have political agendas. I have social agendas.

I don't know what silence sounds like anymore.

I don't like politics.

I don't need anyone to validate me.

I don't want to be on stage when I'm 57, talking about... 'Let's Get It Started.'

I don't want to hope anymore. I don't think we should hope anymore. We hoped enough. Now we have to do. We all have to do now.

I don't want to preach to people.

I go out partying to figure out exactly who I'm making music for. You can't just guess.

I have a pro tools rig that I carry in my backpack.

I have ADHD. I'll admit it.

I just like seeing kids inspired.

I know people in gangs; I could have went down that route.

I read Twitter all the time, even though I rarely tweet.

I remember when I was 19, it was pretty tough.

I rescue families who are losing their homes because they have no jobs and they can't pay the mortgage and the banks are foreclosing on their homes.

I was born and raised in the ghetto, on welfare, two minutes from homeless.

I'm a fan of X-men.

I'm fascinated with quantum physics.

I'm good at thinking outside the box, so much that you realise it's not a box to begin with.

I'm like a mama's boy and stuff.
