"No one chooses to raise children alone."

"I'm free. I just do what I want, say what I want, say how I feel, and I don't try to hurt nobody. I just try to make sure that I don't compromise my art in any kind of way, and I think people respect that."

"The music business is motivated by money. Music is motivated by energy and feelings."

"Man, I don't want to have nothing to do with computers. I don't want the government in my business."

"Music and the music business are two different things."

"But now I realize that this record business really needs me. No one else is trying to take a chance or do something different."
