Whether you want to go into music, whether you want to be a lawyer, whether you want to be President of the United States, the bottom line for all of you is that you have got to get your education.

I'm not really one of those people who believes that if you're a musician you can just leave that behind and start getting into politics.

Musicians can run this state better than politicians. We won't get a lot done in the mornings, but we'll work late and be honest.

Some people can be president, some people can speak, some people, you know, anything that's positive, man - a dentist, a doctor. Just hang in there and never give up, and find out what is your talent. First you got to find your talent and just stick with your talent, and I guarantee you'll get there, man.

People pay attention to artists and celebrities, so they have the opportunity to do something great with this limelight. I, for one, have no problem with Kanye running for president, because if it's something that he truly believes in and it can lead to greater good, why not? I'm all for that.

No president is well-served by groupthink or by everybody singing from the same sheet of music they think he's on.

I want to run for the Senate from Tennessee. Not now, but when I'm 50, when music dies down a little bit. I know lots of artists and actors have those delusions of grandeur, but ever since I was a kid, it's been of interest to me.

It's a hard job to become president.

We're musicians; we're not politicians or anything.

Being president is like running a cemetery: you've got a lot of people under you and nobody's listening.
