I'm not built for war. I'm built for entertainment. I'm built for jokes - either telling them or being the butt of them.

I always had a weight issue since I was a young kid.

Real artists take the misery and sadness of life and translate it into art.

When I hit my 20s, I took a chill pill and relaxed because throughout my teens I was churning out an album a year. It was a treadmill of work then recording, promoting and touring.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

I think a lot of songwriters would agree that it's often easier to find inspiration in misery.
