Act your age don't pretend to be older than you are give yourself time to grow

The whole thing is, do as much as you can, when you possibly can, and don't stress.

I've gone through too much, from beefs to divorce to my mom passing which I always expressed in my music, so there's not album that sticks out as more important than the other to me.

I push my own limits every day, every moment - in the studio, on the stage and beyond so it's truly a genuine fit.

My first record - it was 1991. I was 16 years old. My first album came out when I was 20. So, I've been here that long and I still have the passion to do it.

Let the music diffuse all the tension.

I'm not talking about Russia in my music. I've never been to Russia. I'm not talking about Africa, Switzerland, China. I'm talking about me being American and growing up in a crazy world and helping to reflect all different sides of life.
