I wake up at 5:30, 6 in the morning, but don't head into the office right away. I like to hang out with my wife, talk about things, get some coffee, you know.

When you're spending your money for a nice outing, you want to go have a good time. And I always thought comedies, laughing, was something that was made for entertainment on that level. And records and maybe TV and stuff like that is really made to be heavy.

Doing it your own way, not having to go exactly by the book to be successful.

Whatever happened in the neighborhood. That's what I was rapping about. And that sparked people's interest. And that's what kind of put me on that path.

For me rappers and dancers are poets and artists and often times the most interesting performances are given by them.

You can't pussyfoot around. When you're talking to lions, you can't meow like a pussycat.

I'm just an entertainer, man. I don't like to pigeonhole myself to anything. I love to do it all.
