If you are a superstar, or whatever you want to call yourself, a person who's had outrageous success, and you decide to go indie and tell the record companies to screw themselves? That takes a certain amount of courage. And bullheadedness, really. ”

The Philadelphia/New York world of the music business is a tough place to be. ”

The whole American pop culture started in Philadelphia with 'American Bandstand' and the music that came out of that city. ”

The difference between me and other people in my generation is instead of saying the Internet's killing the record business, I say, 'Who cares about the record business, the Internet is enhancing music.' ”

I hear a lot of people singing in funny voices and singing like they're stupid. Singing in a deliberately fey and dumb and childish way. And I find it to be a disturbing trend. ”

I've got a sense of humor. I'm a funny guy. ”

If you take a bunch of superstars and put them in a room where they don't have their assistants and entourage, it's funny to see what happens. ”

I think there are people who really always have and always will care about the quality of music in general, about the sound of the music, things like that. ”

You don't have to be a good singer any more if you can rap well. ”

In my Philly neighborhood, black and white kids hung together without even thinking about it. The spirit of Martin Luther King was alive and well. ”
