I was taught from a young age that as a teacher, especially a male, you are to never be alone with a female, or even a male student.

There's no major label in the world that would have let me make video game music, then conscious hip hop. They want you to find your audience, your lane, and stay in it until it ends. I can't do that.

When you have a great idea, and don't rush it, things can work itself out.

These kids know so much these days, and are bigger, stronger and quicker mentally. We just have to find out how to use it for good and not evil.

Anytime you have to sacrifice your art, or integrity, it's a bad deal, no matter what they're offering.

In general, being independent is so liberating, you get to create without someone looking over your shoulders.

I hate to sound like an old fuddy duddy, but the game has changed.
