And all Halloween candy pales next to candy corn, if only because candy corn used to appear, like the Great Pumpkin, solely on Halloween.

There should be a name for the syndrome that occurs when you're in Paris and you already miss it.

The best thing about candy is that it can't be spoiled by the adult world. Candy is innocent.

I love the energy that comes when I get on the mic. It keeps me creative and I love to hear what the fans want, what they love or hate about it.
