People have always said I have an old soul, and all my best friends are 10 to 15 years my senior.

People think that as a celebrity, you have to have this sort of mystique about you, but I'm probably the realest person you'll ever meet.

The beautiful thing about acting is that you can just dive into the character, strip yourself of everything, and just get in there and perfect your craft.

In the hip-hop community, it's about how real are you, or how strong can you be, and really my music just reflects me. If you can accept me, then you can accept my music

Me personally, I wouldn't put my kids on television. But to each his own.

So my father was a person who never lied to me. If I had a question, he answered it. I knew a lot of things at a young age because I was intrigued.

The people who truly love me and loved me before all of this stuff. You can't ever leave them behind.
