My concept of successful living is escaping the matrix, as we've talked about. It has very little to do with what people think success is. I actually feel successful right now, even though I don't have an album out, or a video or a song on the radio, because I'm trying to be obedient to His will.

I don't know anybody that's not emotionally unstable or schizophrenic.

I wouldn't even hold my kids sometimes because I didn't want them to spit up on me when I was dressed for an awards show.

If I'd known white people were going to buy my last album, I never would have recorded it.

Our first album was a stupid mistake by the record company. They tried to sell us as an alternative act. A big mistake!

I get out, I get out of all your boxes.

My mother has all my awards, because if I walked downstairs every day and saw all my achievements it would be so easy to become complacent.
