I can't say that I always want to get out of bed, you know.

I have a very family-like connection to hip-hop, which is why it frustrates me so much.

When I wake up in the morning, the first things that I see are the clouds. They're right there. I look out my window now and there's always, always a black bird of some sort on the ledge there. Usually I wake up and look at the birds.

Jay Z and President Bush have a lot in common, that same brash confidence

I'm usually trying to get back into the dream or analyzing the dream. And yeah, the days, most days begin like that.

I feel pretty vulnerable all the time.

I have an acquired taste for language, yet it is seldom an actual focus of mine.
