I don't listen to people's opinions. I have people around me who I can trust, but most of all I listen to myself.

By the time I was a teenager, when I went outside the house, it was about hip-hop all the time. Nothing but hip-hop, block parties.

I like hanging out with me, and I've accepted everything about me good, bad whatever it is. That's why I'm able to, that's why no one can tell me anything negative about myself.

I blame my mother for nothing, but forgive her for everything.

In the studio you can really concentrate on performing the song where as on stage you also have to worry about connecting with so many people, they're definitely different.

I can't just make a song people can dance in a club to... it still has to be real.

Sometimes I frown and I don't realise it.
