It's easy to forget who you are.

You can have the platinum album, but when you still feel like you haven't quite found your place in the world - it kind of gives a crazy offset.

Groups break up because they never got across what they wanted to do personally, and they have creative differences, and egos start to clash.

I always thought money was something just to make me happy. But I’ve learned that I feel better being able to help my folks, ’cause we never had nothing. So just to see them excited about my career is more of a blessing than me actually having it for myself.

I always felt like there was a certain standard of music that I had to do from the beginning, even when I didn't have the recognition that I have now.

The times that we are in, it's something that you can only feel in the air. You don't even have to talk about it. You don't need the news or the Internet to watch it. You can walk outside and just feel it.

I sit and talk to kids all day, because I feel like they carry the most wisdom.
