I could only read the right part of the interview (the other is too blurry) but I like this part: "I'm all about the ass beats."
That was hilarious! ROFL
The left part...
You started playing the piano when you were 2 and ballet dancing at 9.Did you ever have a rebellious phase- or were you always a precorious twerp?Are you saying that I am a goody two shoes?I also rode horses too if I can fill out the stereotype.My rebellion came a little late,when I was 17,I'd been living in a dorm in New York City for ballet school since I was 14, and I hadn't really taken advantage of that.One day I was just like "Holy shit.This is the Devil's playground!"
Whats the most trouble you got into?I didn't get arrested or anything, I just started partying.And I dropped out of ballet school,It's such a regimented life.If you're going to tell me to do something,I'm going to question it.
You're into Anne Rice and J.R.R. Tolkien,and you recorded part of your last album at George Lucas's Skywalker Ranch.On a scale of one to Nimoy,how much of a geek are you?Um, what is Nimoy?
Well you're cooler than we thought.He's the guy who played Spock on Star Trek.I dont like Star Trek.I was never into space.I like the old:the Shine.Vampires.I love elves and hobbits.At Skywalker Ranch I did see the original Lightsaver,though,Is that what its called?The sword thing?
Close enough for a girl.Kanye West called your 2002 hit "A Thousand Miles" "that white song that all black people like."Do you have a big African-American fan base? A lot of rappers seem to like it.I was backstage at a radio show and Treach from Naughty by Nature came up to me and said "You're going to be my next baby mama."I thought to myself this is hitting the buzzer for a certain type of guy!"
Your new album,Heroes & Thieves, is coming out on Irv Gotti's hip hop label, The Inc,How did a nutorious playa like Gotti court you?His pitch was this:"Youre the motherfucking shit."I was like "Great! I've been waiting for that reaction my whole life."Its funny ,he has this car called a Maybach,and the first time he came to pick me up,I called it a Maytag by accident.I called a $500,000 car a dishwasher.But he was OK with that.He calls ithis Maytag now.
