“I make hit records. I make hit records to motivate the people.”

“Donald Trump, you already know. We can't have that guy in office.”

“There's two systems of health care: the one for the rich that's really good, then there's the one for the inner city, where they leave ladies in the emergency room unattended for 24 hours until they drop dead.”
