I grew up in East Flatbush in Brooklyn which was an intense neighbourhood filled with different West Indian cultures.

I do happen to love Honey Nut Cheerios. I don't know if I want to walk down to the store in my pajamas for them. But I do love them.

The most successful people reach the top not because they are free of limitations, but because they act in spite of their limitations

My dancing came about as a way to be cool, actually. I knew early on that I was not a street kid. I didn't have the moxie, what it took to run the streets with the dudes that I grew up wanting to emulate. But I had a huge need to be accepted, so I found that I could be the party king. I did drugs really well, and I partied really well.

I got picked on a lot as a kid.
