I'm not sure if it's cause I'm getting old, but my heels have to be 3.5 inch or less, or a chunky heel.

Schools, the first thing they cut is music programs. They don't realize how important music is to kids.

I'm one of those rare breed of rock n' rollers with a brain, probably because the brain's still intact.

I love decorating my home. I'm a gardener too, so that's usually something I have to play catch up with

I had to make different kinds of music for everybody but still keep it classic T-Pain at the same time.

I'll treat myself every now and then. Like if I get $100,000, I'll spend $20,000 and put the rest away.

I’ve always been a person who’s been true to myself and true to others and I’m not afraid to be honest.

I think every girl's dream is to find a bad boy at the right time, when he wants to not be bad anymore.

I've wanted one thing in my life. I don't want to be that girl that gets that one thing then complains.

When I was 8 years old, it mattered what my favorite singer said and wore and expressed opinions about.

The song 'Innocent' is a song that I wrote about something that really, really emotionally impacted me.

There's a lot of pressure putting an album out all over the world and hoping people everywhere like it.

Every single one of the guys that I've written songs about has been tracked down on MySpace by my fans.

I've learned through writing that if something made me feel deeply or anything at all, it was worth it.

I want to write a song for someone who has just fallen in love or someone single and living their live.

I have to practice to be good at guitar. I have to write 100 songs before you write the first good one.

If you asked me to write a rock song or a rap song, I couldn't do it because they're not in my fingers.

The folks who know the truth aren't talking.... The ones who don't have a clue, you can't shut them up!

It's rather mystifying when you think about writing songs - where they come from, and how they're born.

I think that once an artist has proven herself and you sell lots of records, you should be compensated.

There were times that I needed to go to battle, but how I went to battle wasn't always the best way in.

I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets, looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets.

After it's finished, sometimes I can trace a path that goes back to the possible source of inspiration.

When fame presented itself to me, I was not at a point in my life where I was equipped to deal with it.

I foolishly thought that if I just 'made it' then everything would be okay. And everything wasn't okay.

Is Chris Rock still gonna host the Oscars after this blatant racism?? Is everyone still gonna show up??

Somebody has to look out for and protect our kids, and I feel blessed to be a blessing to someone else.

I think when you live with somebody, you grow up. You learn a lot about yourself through somebody else.

I think Paul McGuinness and U2 created the Irish music industry. It certainly wasn't there before that.

I'd found that what I wrote and put out on records somehow was not fitting into how I perform on stage.

When I look at you girl, I see a true work of art. So many beautiful things coming in one little heart.

Sometimes the song title comes with the songs, other times you just sorta make something up afterwards.

Maybe there's some unquenchable question that I keep asking the universe that I can't get an answer to.

I don't like the idea of being surrounded by hidden things; people you can't see in buildings and cars.

One thing I learned is that the mind, rather than being the master, should be the servant of the heart.

I see this [biodiesel] as a way for the farmer to grow fuel and food and put him back in business again

I use vaporizers a lot. It cuts down on the heat and the smoke. And for a singer that's not a bad idea.

I don’t want friends to die...or fade away. I don’t want battles where we have to lose in order to win.

I'm about 90 percent vegan. I think veganism is really well suited for training, at least for me anyway.

When you're in pain, you're genuinely very, very alive, and that's beautiful. Especially emotional pain.

Salsa, classic rock, soul music, jazz... all of that was a part of my education in making hip-hop music.

I do not go on my Wikipedia page. There's just too much weird information on there for me to pick apart.

It's not that I will die, but if I stop partying, it will lead to extreme complications in my wellbeing.

'Honey, I'm Good' is a song about temptation, and we wanted to show what is possible if you can beat it.

Telling my story is to empower people to believe in their own power. We have so much power individually.

...whatever I ended up doing with my life,I wanted to people feel the way this music was making me feel.

We did that with people like Chris Rock, Woody Harrelson, and the environmentalist Julia Butterfly Hill.

It’s not illegal to be an asshole. It’s not illegal to be racist, even. It’s not illegal to do anything.

I've been dancing and wearing costumes my whole life, so there's that sexiness to who I am that I enjoy.

I would rather be hated every damn day of my life for being real than loved for being something I'm not.
