I am not worthy to be on a Mariah Carey record. She's a true artist, so I just step back and watch the genius occur.

I've been working so hard, I'm about to have a Mariah Carey.

To really be tortured by a song, it needs to be more than just something you don't like or don't get; it has to make your skin crawl by getting under it. Strangely, that last clause could describe provocative or daring music, as well.

Honestly, you could beat me, torture me - just don't bore me.

Nothing pleases me more than to go into a room and come out with a piece of music.

I'd do entire music videos in my bedroom, where I used to stand in front of my television memorizing the moves to Michael Jackson's 'Beat It.'

My dream job would be sitting in a room, cranking out hits for Rihanna.

I'm gonna be making records anyway, even if I had to sell 'em out of the trunk of my car. I'm that kind of musician and singer.

People who care about records are always giving me a hard time. I mean, I would destroy records in performances, and break them, and whatever I could do to them to create a sound that was something else than just the sound that was in the groove.
