I'm really not worried about what fans think.

A Grammy is really nice, but having lots of fans is really nice, too. I think just getting a record out is a success on its own.

You get to bring your own sound system when you play an arena, all the lights and visual stuff, which I think is really cool. There's something about those old arenas, where it feels larger than life.

Coming from a smaller place always made things feel more personal, which is really what it's all about.

You know who we hear about all the rappers from? The bus drivers.

I am nice to everybody. But people really take advantage of it.
