I grew up in a Hollywood family with money, so money is not the reason I make music. I'm as Hollywood as it gets. Not internally but externally - that's my bloodline.
Entertain the people. Give them something they're not ready for, make them talk.
My songs don't play on pop radio; they play on black radio.
While other kids played with cars and toys, I listened to music all day. I wanted to sing it and learn it.
Life is full of constant ups and downs, and all I ask for is redemption in the end.
I took whatever the devil offered me.
