I have to be very careful about diet and exercise.

I just try to get out of my own way because if anyone is their own worst enemy, it's usually you.

I came out the box and for seven years I had a huge career. And then it's done, it's dumped. But I ain't gone, and I refuse to be gone.

Did people think I sounded black? Totally, but that was a marketing tool as well, but also this is how I grew up and these are my influences.

Be kind. It's very needed to be respectful to all.

My current mantra is that sometimes we need teachers in our lives. I never had that in my life, parents and stuff like that; I tried to stay on the outside of them or anybody that had that kind of influence.

Sometimes it takes some time out on your own to find your way back home.
