Work controls my life, writing controls my life, performing controls my life.

Music is a big influence in my work and sometimes drives the energy of where I want to go.

I would have to say that I’m haunted. I’m haunted by everything that drives me. I want to do great work. I need to do great work. I won’t be satisfied unless I do great work.

The pen isn’t really the weapon - the work ethic is the weapon.

[I've] learned how to pull the mic away and attack the poetry with my body.

I don't know, I think that if I had any regrets, that would cancel out the great people that I have in my life. All the tough stuff that I've gone through that I don't wish on no one else has brought a beautiful community to me.

Work controls my life, writing controls my life, performing controls my life.
