Reading a piece of poetry with no beat in front of 20 people is way more challenging than rocking for 10,000 people.

I definitely use "smiling while rapping" as a tool in the booth. I want to have fun while recording. At times it can get tedious and stressful when it's not sounding the way you heard it in your head, but you've got to remember to just smile and appreciate the fact that you're even in the booth and there are people who want to hear your art.

Expectations are resentments waiting to happen

Gay rights are human rights, there is no separation.

I find that when I put my spiritual life first, the rest of my life is easy. When I put my career first, that's when I have problems.

I just want to give the people 100% of myself as an artist.

We sell our dreams and our potential to escape through that buzz.
