I'm very attached to my family and protective of them and miss them, and that situation, my connection with that can make me become very vulnerable.

I have not become the artist I believe I am. I want to become a stadium act. I'm not done at all.

It's important for me to go back into the ghetto, where I'm from. I still get my oxygen from there. I don't live in the ghetto but every time I go back, I'm seeing the same things that I lived. That's one of the things I mean when I say, "My feet back onto the ground."

If you go out to Hollywood you'll find a lot of fantastic plastic people there in the business and a lot of people in life generally. They find it so hard to be themselves that they have to be plastic.

I've done a lot of things to become what I've become, out to create and establish a musical form and I call it movie.

The love is the part of us that can never go. It's the essence that was always there, so that can never go.

I don't know where life will lead me, but I know where I've been. I can't say what life will show me, but I know what I've seen. Tried my hand at love and friendship, but all that is passed and gone. This little boy is moving on.
