Creating is really what I like to do. The best thing in the world is to have an idea in the back of your head and then to make that idea into a movie and have people all over the world enjoy it.

I'm always open, and will criticize myself, too. And I just think being that honest with everybody puts you in a different space than somebody who's just shooting venom at a certain group or a certain amount of individuals.

I get freedom out of hip-hop. I get to be a true artist without any shackles or harnesses.

As a husband, I'm a true partner. I don't believe one person should have dominance over another.

I think everybody likes a person that stands up for themselves. Nobody likes a punk or a coward.

I hear about people getting shot all the time. But most of the guys you hear about getting shot pulled through.

I believe every pencil has to be sharpened every now and then to stay sharp, or you dull out. So my records, I chose to speak on what black people do, what white people do, what women do, what men do.
