When it comes to the recording and writing, it's still mostly Mickey and I. But now there's this whole live entity that's a whole different thing, and it seems to be where we're gaining the most popularity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Mickey Mouse... is always there-he's part of my life. That really is something not everyone can call their claim to fame.
Kids, adults, men, women, everybody has a relationship with Mickey Mouse.
When people laugh at Mickey Mouse, it's because he's so human; and that is the secret of his popularity.
I grew up watching Mickey Mouse and going to Disney World, like, 2,000 times. Mickey Mouse is like my guru.
A lot of very popular mainstream artists are products of record companies and marketing companies, and any time anyone can stand outside of that, that's interesting.
I want to plug back into the hip-hop audience. Whether it be fans who grew up watching 'Yo!', or people who have become familiar with the culture via the Internet.
I used to give out Mickey Mouse awards to people. I like Mickey Mouse because he represented certain values. He invested in people, was good to his friends and hard on his enemies. Once a year, I would have our management team from each division come to an offsite, and I would talk about Mickey Mouse.
The focus is on singer/songwriters now rather than huge shows. I mean, of course there's always a place for that too.
Even though the popularity and the fanbase is much much greater, and more people have heard about me through things like the Grammys and the Ivors and touring and word of mouth, it doesn't reflect in the sales of the record and doesn't go into my pocket.
I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known.
