There are a lot of songs that would ostensibly be a good candidate for parody, yet I can't think of a clever enough idea.

As an artist, you have to work really, really hard because you gotta make something that will allow people to even take the chance to even listen to it, you know?

When you start out as a filmmaker, you do parodies, because you can't really compete on a studio level.

It's hard to really articulate what the parameters are that make one song parody-able and another song not, but if I can come up with a good enough idea for it, I go for it, and if not, then I have to move on.

I'm a creative person, and I've got a lot of ideas. People probably thought that my mentality was quick fame because I made 'Rack City' and it blew up fast, but I have over 1,000 songs recorded.

I like to make songs that are based on concepts.

More than anything, I think the best thing you can do as an artist is just stay as true to yourself as possible and hope that your fan base will appreciate that.

I'm trying to fuse popular and commercial music and just make very creative music. It's popular music: it's everything for everybody.

I'm writing songs to perform, to entertain. And when I'm really trying to get inspired, I go backwards, and I just rap.
