I always looked up to so many people before me and was lucky to become such good friends with them. I learned so much hanging out with those cats.
People in north Michigan are not different at all from people in southern Alabama. Trust me, someone who's spent a lot of time in both places. They're all hardworking, simple people.
But I'm a great father. That's why I got custody.
I'm all about change, and I know things are going to move forward in life, and that's just how it goes.
I do not believe that artists or actors and people should be out there like voicing their full-blown opinions on politics because, let's face it, at the end of the day, I'm not that smart of a guy.
I bought a book of Mark Twain quotes. That's about my speed. I'll read a couple quotes and put it down.
It's not that I'm Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes now, but I've got my priorities in order.
I've got friends who didn't vote. I want to smack them upside the head.
I've got my own studio, so I sit in my studio writing and if I get a great take, that's the take.
There's so many examples of just how lucky we are to be born anywhere in this world that is free.
My take on rap is driven by straightforward American southern rock and blues.
If people had good albums, they'd be buying albums. But people are buying singles because they only have good songs.
My good friends call me Bobby.
Two of my grandparents died in a car crash. Sucks, 'cause they would have lived to a hundred.
