I've so much left to explore, it's enormously exciting to me. It's a passion. I just try and get better at what I do, and I study it very hard, like it is my life degree.

I get to a point when I've collected together enough words that seem like they want to be songs rather than poems, or sometimes not.

I enjoy looking like a tart and thinking like a politician.

What Rare [albom] allows me to do is gonna show people other things that I'm capable of 'cause they really haven't heard a lot of things outside of the rap stuff that I do.

I really don't pay too much attention; I don't go out of my way to read any interviews.

I think Ive got a pretty good sense of humor.

My father is actually a quarry man - he deals in stone. He also at one point had a lot of sheep, he owned a sheep farm, but primarily the family business was in stone.
