I've always been very private, maybe because I discovered my mother, who is a wonderful lady, is very emotional.

Sometimes I feel good, at times I feel used. Loving you darling, makes me so confused.

Mozart would play a counterpart with his left hand while using his right to mock it. It was blue, dark, shadowy - and it made me feel something. That's when I realized music was inside me.

I am able to hang with the hardest, the baddest, the worst, and I'm able to hang with the most proper and be at ease. I'm able to hang with any skin colour, any belief. I just fit in everywhere.

Some of the greatest artists did their best work when they got political.

There was no other path for me. I knew this was my path. I had to follow it.

What acting does bring that music doesn't bring for me is the opportunity is the opportunity to be completely different in every way from whom you normally are, the person that you are when you wake up in the morning is who you are in your life. But to take that and have the opportunity to be the complete opposite of that, is the excitement of it.
