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

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

I never do any album to beat it. I do it to extend it.

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.

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.

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

When you're going to do whatever you're going to do, you have to get your, put your mind into it.
