I just want to reach a point where I have an opportunity to impact the entire world with one song.

I always tried to pride myself on my versatility - I can't just be the 'iSpy' guy.

Even if I told my mom I wanted to be a clown or live in the forest, she would be down.

I played football. I was pretty bad at that.

I felt like I related to East Coast lyricism a little more. Because I couldn't be super gangsta.

I knew that 'Nothing to Lose' wasn't gonna probably go off the same way numbers-wise like 'iSpy,' but 'Nothing to Lose' was more like a statement record for me.

Kodak is hard. 'No Flockin' is an amazing song.

I've always been such an album-driven artist that I never really stopped to think about how cool it would be to just have one really big song.

I want to make a lot of people smile.

It's important to reassure people that everything is going to be all right.

What is a hit? Who can tell? Who decides what a hit sounds like? I needed to remind myself that a hit is whatever people decide is a hit. I don't make hits; I make music. People make hits.

Shooting a music video sometimes can be a job.

People should listen to my music if they are into a lot of different genres and kind of want to get it all at once, if they want to listen to a story, an interesting story about somebody else.

Growing up a good person, it's a lot harder than you'd think.

Kid Cudi has saved lives. He saved my life.

I think about love being so important because, to me, that's the reason we were put on Earth. Love, in a sense, is God to me.

I am a pretty bad driver, so when I drive, I need to be calm. I can't be vibing to DMX, all hype, in the car.

I just want to be an artist that makes exactly what he feels.

Toyota is competitive in anything they do.

When I jumped ship from Roush Racing to Hendrick Motorsports, I couldn't believe the amount of personnel here that get along with each other. It's pretty amazing that there are so many people under one roof, where Roush is more spread out and it feels so different.

I love racing and I've always enjoyed racing. I love to try and go back to the local short tracks and do those races. And sometimes I do.

We're at the top echelon of motorsports, and we've got guys who have never won Late Model races running on the racetrack. It's pathetic. They don't know where to go.

Racing is work, so that's not a hobby.

I like road-course racing.

I don't mind taking chances. Sometimes those chances get me in a loophole that's hard to get out of, but that's just me. That's my drive. That's my fire. That's who I am. That's who I want to be and who I feel like I am when I'm fast.

I watch football all the time. I enjoy getting home on Monday nights and watch 'Monday Night Football,' and 'Sunday Night Football' when we get home early enough on Sunday nights.

It's funny to watch sometimes. You're walking through a crowd of people or whether you're just out there for driver intros, the amount of reaction you get and the people you're affecting is pretty funny.

I would say people are most going to remember me for my skill on the racetrack, first and foremost.

I think I could make a 1,000 mile race. But I would definitely have to take pre-race precautions to make sure I could make it that far.

I'd say the late 70s were probably pretty cool. Obviously the cars weren't safe and the tracks weren't safe and all that stuff, but I think back then it was more about the driver.

You pretty much know as a driver what too fast is.

There's no better feeling that celebrating in Victory Lane.

I try to keep at least one or two of my firesuit designs every year.

Ray Evernham and Jeff Gordon and people in the garage area always put so much stake into me.

You've got guys out there that are good spokespeople for their sponsors or whatever. They do a good job of selling merchandise and all that. And then you've got guys that are just good wheel men.

I mean, when I was growing up, my family was always into racing. So, we'd always have the TV on on Sundays watching the Cup races or whatever, and ultimately I kinda thought about wanting to become a race car driver. I thought it would be cool to get paid to do what you love to do most.

There can be an easy way to interpret things some times and it seems like maybe I'm on the wrong side of those interpretations a lot of those times.

I'm a huge sports fan, but I am also a huge supporter of the United States of America and our militaries and everything that we've got for us.

We have fans who bake cookies for the team or they make cupcakes or muffins and stuff like that. And then they always ask us if we enjoyed it and how it tasted. I'm like, 'That was so long ago. I don't even remember what I had for breakfast this morning!'

Those people that are close to me understand me and know me and know who I am outside the race track as a person and a friend, and that's why I'm able to continue to have the relationships and the sponsorships that I do.

Ever since I've jumped in a Legends or Dwarf car, I've always tried to win. I've been able to win in every race car I've ever driven.

It's fun to be the guy that can be so polarising and have that effect on so many different people.

My goal has always been to be known as a racer who is diverse, someone who can go to any venue and any racetrack anywhere and compete for a win.

My dad certainly has an eye for talent and he did something right getting his sons to the top of NASCAR.

A good driver can make up for bad equipment way more than a good car could make up for a bad driver.

Of course you always wish your stats were a little bit better.

Anyone who's good on any week, makes you want to go out there and beat 'em.

I have a truck team for a reason.

I'll never self-proclaim myself as the greatest of all time.

Some people tell you, 'I'm your good luck charm - I've been to eight races in my life and you've won six of them' or something like that. So it's kind of like, 'Well, you need to come to more then!' Other times, fans just want to talk about previous times they've met you.
