I look at rap as an opportunity to act. My head is full of different characters - in each song I'm auditioning a character.

Good advice I always hated, but lookin back it made me greater.

Regular people don't even realize how much artists mean to them. Artists represent a lot to the average person. People listen to music all day on their iPods, so as artists, we become a real fixture in people's lives. As an artist, you can't take it personal. It's like your big brother teasing you.

Oh no we don't play with silly girls All I know is the material girls

May the Lord protect me as the world gets hectic. My voice projected, my life reflected.

People always want to talk about who I was, but I've always been singing, always been experimenting with pop music.

Go against me nowwww I dare you Bambi
