People see you on screen and they like you, but they never really get a chance to meet you. When you're doing music, you know you have to go sit at in-stores, and you're actually in the street, so there's more of a hands-on kind of thing.

When the OutKast sound changed and I started producing my own records, I would mirror what I thought that character doing that music would look like. As the sound got a little wilder, freakier and funkier, so did the clothes. Then when the sound got more sophisticated, the clothes changed again.

I've learned that I'm most powerful when I'm doing my art.

But I am a lover of all kinds of art. And I just can't stick to one thing. I guess I could if I made myself, but I'd always be looking the other way, for other things.

What's cooler than bein' cool?

Nothing's more attractive than a heavy praying woman.

As a rapper, I don't freestyle. I used to freestyle when I used to get drunk, and it didn't matter.
