Early inspirations included Michael Jackson, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye, Lionel Richie... Those were the people I actually wound up studying just to hone my craft.
I'm just like very honest.
I'm actually a pretty upfront, honest person; if there's anything, I just confront it.
I just sold a farm in Missouri, and I own a ski lodge in Colorado with some Honolulu partners.
It's an honour and a thrill and a privilege just to play in the NHL.

That's what I used to do; I would just go into the studio and just rap. But it's all about coming up with dope concepts and dope hooks.
I don't know what it is really... I think I'm just good with hooks.

I don't have a horror film in me just because I don't like to be scared. But I definitely have a documentary in me, and I certainly have dramas.

Terrorism attacks Jews, but it targets all countries and Western values. Israel is just an hors d'oeuvre.
The Inhumans, just as an idea - the idea that you were an ordinary horseman until you were exposed to this catalyst that is a very rare element - is a neat idea in and of itself.
Maybe I'm just as bad as my critics who hound me.
We all have hourglass figures; your sand just settles in different places.
