You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes.

Mistakes you can learn from; sins stay with you forever.

I sin like crazy, but I protect my people.

I moved to Des Moines when I was 15. I asked my mother to give up costody and sign parental rights over to my grandmother, who I lived with while I went to school. I was clean and finally starting to figure myself out. I can only say that now without laughing. I was still very out of my own place, and I didn't even know what that place was. All I knew was that I could write music, that I had no idea what that could mean and that I was still surrounded by people I couldn't relate to. I hadn't found my tribe yet.

I think of how and where all the horrible people I've come across in my life ended up, and I smile.

The people I respect the least are the ones that take themselves way too seriously.

I want you to understand something: I am loving father who would do anything for his kids, whether they are mine or belonging to others in my family.
