It's not fair that people ignore AIDS in Africa because it's Africa. It's not fair.

If you give me half a chance. I'll prove this to you. I will be patient, kind, faithful and true.

I'm not just making rhymes and making melodies. I'm expressing my true life force, energy.

I do experiment with lots of different genres. In making music, I don't think of genre like, "I want to do this, because I'm going use that country music sound; I'm going use that hip-hop sound; I'm going use that acoustic [sound]." It's just making music. So now that I've traveled a lot more since I did Acoustic Soul, I'm sure that different sounds will come into place, because I have been exposed to it and I like it. But it's not so much of a conscience effort. It's mind and spirited. You know, we're humans.

What did not demolish me simply polished me.

I feel very strongly in my opinion that everyone is responsible to themselves for what they do.

No matter what anybody says, what matters most is what you think of yourself.
