What is being black? It's making the most of your life, not taking a single moment for granted. Taking something that's seen as a struggle and making it work for you, or you'll die inside. Not to say that my struggle is like the collective struggle of black America. But maybe my struggle is similar to one black dude's.

I was very successful from a very early age, and I want to keep it.

I have male fans, but I'm persuading them to become female!

There's so many inspiring people out there.

I feel strikingly domestic. We're in our own world with two busses and trucks.

I'm a mess of unfinished thoughts.

I've always said I've got the coolest fans, and I brag about you like grandchildren when I talk to other artists.
