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."

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

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 had the global outlook that I really wanted to capture the world. I would like the attention of the world at least and I wanted that.

People in the Hall of Fame tend to clap their hands and say, 'OK, I've done it all,' but for me, it was a new beginning.

I would love to see no more ghettos but the things is, there's no diplomacy in the ghetto. They want to tell you something, they tell you straight!

I love to create and that's what gives my soul the satisfaction.
