I've never wanted to be put into a box, not musically.

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.

The more you push the budgets up, the more you make records cost $20, the more you make records last 4 and 5 minutes on the radio.

I try to only commit myself to things that I think I can accomplish and commit myself to 100 percent. I try not to bite off more than I can chew.

I love Ralph Lauren, just as a designer. I still think he could make some better sizes with his clothes, but I like the idea of his classic American style.

I want to see 10 female rappers getting regular rotation. It can't be all about a man's opinion.

I need something bigger than myself. And the only thing that can be would be a child. Someone who would help me live even more selflessly.
