My responsibility to God is to live. That's the gift he gave me. What I do with it is up to me.

Don't give up, be positive and if you know someone who knows someone at a record company don't stop beating down their door till you get heard. Don't ever say it'll never happen or it'll never happen.

For the first time in my life, I'm proud of myself

When life is real, it's not going to be smooth.

I'm from the element of the streets that says that once you've made it, it's yours. But keep it to yourself.

My main exercise is cardio. The treadmill is fine, but running outdoors gives me the best results. I try to log 6 to 8 miles a week. I could be in the worst mood, but when I do my cardio, I feel much, much better.

The music business is really, really small. The real music is becoming almost extinct, if you don't stay true to who you are.
