I have OCD mixed with ADD, you try living with that. Its complicated,
I like simple things. I like to sneak in the theatre and watch movies. I'm a movie buff.
The many sounds of Memphis shaped my early musical career and continue to be an inspiration to this day.
If entertainment years were dog years, man, Id be like Gandhi. Id be like 250 years old.
I needed freedom to really express myself. That's really what Justified is about.
I'm not trying to sound pretentious, but we did sell 12 million records on the first album, so we did get paid a little bit.
You mean, like a book?
The best part about being alone is that you really don't have to answer to anybody. You do what you want.
"Celebrity" is sort of an idea. I mean, I get to do something extraordinary, but I don't think it makes me extraordinary. That's my opinion. I like to be an artist, I like to do things that are involved in the arts, but I don't think it makes me more special than a doctor, for example. A doctor is an extraordinary person. Doctors should be celebrities. We just entertain people. They save lives.
The Grammys used me for ratings. And they were up 18 percent!
I didn't put out this album because I wanted everybody to know I was grown up. I'm 21 and that's not grown up.
Every relationship I've been in, I've overwhelmed the girl. They just can't handle all the love.
I used to think I actually was Batman.
Gossip is called gossip because it's not always the truth.
