Everything I've done in my career has started in and around Detroit, you know, the metro area and Michigan.

It's not that I'm Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes now, but I've got my priorities in order.

I am happy to make money. I want to make more money, make more music, eat Big Macs and drink Budweisers.

I didn't come from a trailer park. I grew up middle class and my dad had money and my mom made my lunch. I got a car when I was sixteen. I'm proud of that.

They believed you can't mix rock, country, and rap, and that crossover is dead. I always knew it would work. And it will always work as long as you're really into it and like what you're doing.

I truly believe that people like myself, who are in a position of entertainers in the limelight, should keep their mouth shut on politics.

If I was president of the good old U.S.A., I'd turn the churches into strip clubs and watch the whole world pray.

I could care less about what people think. I'm a Devil Without A Cause.

You get what you put in and people get what they deserve.

I think what I've learned out of this lifetime is you should be proud of where you come from.

I was the little white kid who rocked the turntables

Our hearts of stone become hearts of flesh when we learn where the outcast weeps.

Love is a relative emotional quality

Taking in too much added sugar from highly marketed sugary foods and drinks displaces healthier foods in the diet.

My life is full of meaning to me. The life around me must be full of significance to itself. If I am to expect others to respect my life, then I must respect the other life I see.

A workman who wants to do his work well must first prepare his tools.

Every film I try and make it the way I see it in my head, and it really just depends on the script and the people I'm working with or whatever interests me at that particular time.

The happiest stutterers, I learned, are those who are willing to stutter in front of others.

I'm interested only in expressing basic human emotions. And the fact that a lot of people break down and cry when confronted with my pictures shows that I can communicate these basic human emotions.

No one is ever going to be as good as I was

When we are at ease, our bodies work efficiently, our minds settle, and space opens up for us to connect to our intuition, creativity, and sense of connectedness.
