When I was growing up in Terrell, Texas, I felt that it was not where I was supposed to be. I knew that I was meant for a different destination. I think that the minute I was born, there was something inside telling me where I would go, it's like energy - an intangible destiny.

I'm a real person, and I'm angry. I'm trying to use this celebrity thing to get people some help. AIDS, poverty, racism - I want to be one of the hands that helps stop all that. I'll put it on my shoulders. I'll charge it to my account.

I'd like to say I'm R&B's savior.

If you can, always be appreciative of the ebb and flow of the losses and the wins.

It's like church over here. It's like church in here. First of all, give an honor to God and our Lord and Savior Barack Obama.

This whole thing called the internet and all this other kind of stuff is about to go crazy. It's all going to change. But, you know what's not going to change? The talented people.

You gotta have the balls to go out there and be funny, man.
