I never pictured myself as just a rapper; I always wanted to act and do whatever else I could do. I always felt like I could do a lot of different things.

I don't have to really be in the 60s. Every time I hail a cab in New York, and they pass me by and pick up the white person, then I get a dose of it. Or when they don't want to take you to Harlem. I grew up with that.

I think it's important to raise your kids, start 'em early. Teaching them the values and morals, so when they get out there on their own, you know they have it. They just have to remember to use it, but they have it.

If my brother and I wanted money in our pockets, we had to get jobs - my first was at 15, at Burger King.

As a teenager, I had big breasts for my age, and my friends cracked on me a lot.

I don't feel like I need to share my personal life, and I don't care if people think I'm gay or not. Assume whatever you want. You do it anyway.

If you try to follow everyone else's mold, you'll probably fail at some point because God created us uniquely for a reason.
