I'm proud to be white. I don't have anything against my color. But I don't think color matters, either. Just like I feel it doesn't matter that I'm a white dude doin' black music.

Music is my life. The last job I had, I was a bricklayer's apprentice. And I was happy with that job, too, because it was something that made me feel good. To build a wall for the side of a building felt really good to me.

The important thing is that ever since I realized all the wrongs that I had done, I have been trying to correct them for the past 27 years.

There will be new and exciting filmmakers to come and movies that will be great successes.

I was really inspired by the way people responded, and I wanted to tell that story [ 'Patriots Day']. It's never been more difficult or complicated for me to make a movie. It's about my home, my people, my community.

When I was a rapper, the groupies didn't have to try too hard with me. Just show up at the hotel.

I never lie. I believe everything I say, so its not a lie.
