People do look up to me and it makes me feel good. I made it out of a bad situation and I didn't mind bettering myself and I think that is what people respect. Most people go backwards but I was able to look at the big picture.

You know, I started doing movies. I mean, my mind was brought into saying, you know what? I want to build a generation of wealth.

Television is not like making records. I wanna tell all you kids, do not try this at home, 'cause it's hard. It takes a lot of hard work, a lot of practice, and a lot of different takes.

Most of the people don't get their just due until they ain't here no more.

I feel like God blessed me to be successful and to have a couple of more things that a lot of people of where I come from didn't have or didn't see, but it ain't always about me. It's about empowering the next generation so that's what I love doing.

I probably spent more money trying to do things that I didn't need to do.

My little cousin Jimmy told me in jail he was a drag queen.
