Personally, I don't choose any particular religion or symbol or group of words or teachings to define me. That's between me and the most high. You know, my higher self. The Creator.

I lived in New York for maybe a year and a half, from '95 to '97, but I live in Dallas. My whole family is there.

Man, I don't want to have nothing to do with computers. I don't want the government in my business.

All the women in my family were very creative.
