I have a better head of hair than Rick Perry; it's just not in a place I can show you.

I can relate to soul, R&B... whatever people want to call me is fine. I just hope it makes them feel something.
I am so anti-people's opinions when I'm making a record, but when it's finished and I put it out there, I hope somebody likes it.
