Long as I was riding in a big Cadillac and dressed nice and had plenty of food, that's all I cared about.

Even as a little child, I've always had that comedian kind of attitude.

Most of the songs I sing have that blues feeling in it. They have that sorry feeling. And I don't know what I'm sorry about. I don't.

It's not about battling the original artists when I record these songs, it's about paying tribute to them.

I wanted to be aggressive and put them away. It's a big win, but we can't slip. We're riding high, but have to keep our focus.

I really turned into, you know, the real street kid. I was kind of like a runaway, but I had a mother, you know what I mean, and I had a place to stay.
