Beyonce, to me, doesn't have a f--king Purple Rain, but she's the biggest thing on Earth. How can you be that big without at least one Sweet Home Alabama or Old Time Rock & Roll? ... People are like, 'Beyonce's hot. Got a nice f--king a--.' I'm like, 'Cool, I like skinny white chicks with big t--s.' Doesn't really f--king do much for me.
