When you have a daughter, you want to protect her from the things that I've seen out there, you know, the things that's out there that ain't good for her. It's a crazy world we live in.

You can't please everybody. You'd be crazy if you're trying to. So take some time out to do some things for yourself.

I wouldn't want to bring a kid into this crazy world right now.

Well, you know, in this crazy world of entertainment, I would say if you have a dream, you have to pursue it.

You can't be idealistic in this world and not be crazy.

I'm not talking about Russia in my music. I've never been to Russia. I'm not talking about Africa, Switzerland, China. I'm talking about me being American and growing up in a crazy world and helping to reflect all different sides of life.
