I remember when I was growing up, I always wore glasses and so if I was on-stage or just being able to move around playing sports, I was never really able to because I had glasses holding me back. Wearing contacts has just been very helpful.

I think people have been really receptive to understanding that I've grown up and the music's going to sound a little different.

I feel like every artist has an opportunity to create something new and to challenge themselves to reach out to a new crowd.

I have definitely written a happy song about someone and then we ended up splitting up, but you have to put those kind of things to the back of your mind and tell yourself that it's a good song and it works on the album.

I feel like every time I tweet, I lose money.

I put my money in property and I love merchandise; such as Muhammad Ali boxing gloves. It's about stability for the future.

I have always recognized that the object of business is to make money in an honorable manner. I have endeavored to remember that the object of life is to do good.

Money is always a motivating factor, but money has never been my driving force. In my first fight, I paid the promoter in order for me to fight. I was in the hole 300 bucks for that. Money has always been a byproduct of me doing something I love.
