The red carpet is a beautiful situation for people. I think everybody appreciates it and loves it and honors it. Nobody really acts a fool because they know this is a one-time thing.

Push yourself, when you get smart up top (in your head), your skills will fall right into place.

I stay busy and projects look for me. I aint goin nowhere no time soon and that's how I continue to evolve. By stayin relevant and makin hits.

The best advice I've ever got is to be yourself. Stay true to who you are and what you stand for and you'll go far in life.

I went out and got little jobs. I was selling candy as a teenager, selling newspapers. But as I got older, I didn't want to sell that anymore. I wanted to make more money.

Like Ice Cube asks, "Why are more niggers in the pen than in college?" It's easier to go to the pen than it is to go to college.

When I turned 16, I thought I was a man. I needed the money. When you don't have it, crazy thoughts go through your mind.
