I started working out with a trainer and I immediately saw results.

So when I'm working out I do things extreme.

I'm not looking to go out there and make a rhythmic Timbaland track.

My first tour I was on the road for 18 months. You're just out there promoting.

When I first came out, like a lot of the artists at that time, I had a very polished, very overproduced sound.

I just try to get out of my own way because if anyone is their own worst enemy, it's usually you.
