- I met Alec Baldwin and I told him, 'You're a famous man', and he said, 'That's a double-edged sword', and I kind of agree with that. I hope I can handle it. You know people want to say hello and stuff. But I'm a musician, see? The thing is, I communicate.
- I've been a candidate for office at least eight times. A couple times for mayor [in Detroit], state representative, city council. Trying to get my issues out to the public - the violence in the city, the police brutality.
- I live below my means. I think that's a good discipline because you never can tell. I'm not an ascetic. I just think that's wiser.
