People always accuse me of being motivational in a way, like it was a bad thing, but that's just how I was raised. My mom raised me in a positive environment, with lots of love in my heart, and that reflects in my music.

I wouldn't play together with someone who likes to control everything like me.

I think that we have to be very careful and get back into the loop, get back to nature. Get back to God and not let the technology send us somewhere that we're going to regret.

I don't play the tuba.

My mother gave lots of good advice and had a lot to say. As you get older, you realize everything she said was true.

I come in with this rock 'n' roll-oriented music, and it's not black enough . . . I've always had to deal with this black-white thing.

I'm just looking for interesting roles and giving acting the respect it deserves.
