"If I had admitted my guilt, it would have been the same as putting my head on the chopping block - lifetime ban. Death penalty.

“I think what we do is really, at times, a complicated thing. But at the end of the day it's so important that we make art for people that need to escape reality for a second. That's what music has always been for me. It's been a way to tap out of what's going on in my personal life.”
“I've always used Old English in certain songs.”
