I don't think the clothes make me, but I make the clothes.

LL Cool J was a rapper-turned-actor, and I also relate to him because he was sort of a ladies' man and had a female fan base, but yet he's a positive dude. You never read about him getting into trouble or going to jail.

Money don’t change you, it changes the people around you.

I love my fans very much. They give me the confidence to continue things in life.

My mother doesn't really embarrass me. Even when I was young. She understands my career.

Don't follow in my footsteps. Create your own legacy! Be you! Do what you do! Stay focused! Stay positive about whatever goals you want to accomplish! Don't ever let anybody tell you that you can't, because you always can. To this day, I have people trying to discourage me, and telling me I should hang it up. I call them clowns.

I can take all the negative energy and turn it into a positive simply by purging my soul through music. That's how powerful music can be.
