I always was like, "Yo, I'm here, I might as well get what I could take."

The movie industry is one big collaboration. Music gives me that freedom to create things straight from my heart and my mind.

Seeing my son getting roughed up by the police is not fun. It brings back memories of when I got roughed up by them. He grew up totally different than how I grew up, and to me, he shouldn't have to go through that.

As far as producing, once we started shooting, I soon realized where the critical decisions about the movies were really being made, and it wasn't on the set. They were being made in the production meetings. That's where producing a movie happens. And that's where I wanted to be. I didn't just want to be a piece, a pawn being played. I wanted to take part in the creative process, and that's how I sort of got introduced to the idea.

I'm the most successful person in my generation of family members, and that sucks.

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

I love performing. I'll never get that out of me.
