Change your mind and it will change your life. If nothing around you changes, changes the things that are around you.

I think the old school, back in the day, 10 to 15 years ago in music, is like you launch one single and you just let that ride out. Right now, you've got folks like Chris Brown, he just won't let up, he's got mixtape after mixtape, they're playing songs on the radio from the mixtape and then he's got songs on the album and videos and he's got remixes he's jumping on.

There are a lot of directors who make big money and do big things and then move out of the 'hood

Life is a menu. Whatever you order is what's delivered to the table.

I have no complaints. I've worked with worse directors in my career.

People are dream killers--you've got to be careful who you give emotional access to.

Your actions reflect what you want for yourself and how much you love and value yourself. Your actions reflect how you see yourself, what you feel you deserve.
