I grew in a community where I saw the process of how one becomes a drug dealer or a gang banger or a stick-up kid. There's a series of events that happen. People don't just wake up and decide they wanna be that.

Revenge is not a positive state of mind or energy to indulge your self in.

As we say in the hood, I'm a stoop kid.

My job is to bring to life the character, not to put the words on the paper.

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

The arts saved my life.

I'm more liable to hurt myself than someone else.
