There are no mistakes in life, and it's not about anybody being able to judge you.

For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.

When I met Dre, N.W.A. didn't exist, nor did Michel'le. And I think we had a chemistry. When started working on my stuff, we created something that was phenomenal.

I know in the movie it looks like my grandmother is condoning it, but she really wasn't. But back in those days, men beat women. She was trying to tell me something without being judgmental, trying to help me understand that's what men do.
