I don't have any reason to hate anybody; I believe in good karma and spreading good energy.

My breakdancing crew used to go to the mall and squat a piece of cardboard there; we had our jam box, and I'd spin on my head and make about forty bucks a day, which was pretty good back then. I was only 14 years old, so I would chase the girls around the mall and eat some pizza and have some change left over.

When 'Ice Ice Baby' was selling a million records a day, I bought several properties: a home next to Michael J. Fox in L.A., a palace in Miami and a mountain cabin in Utah. Then, a few years later, I took a break from touring, saw that my properties had cobwebs, so I sold them, and - to my surprise - I made a huge profit!

With the mega-fame came the mega-downfall - you know, with the press and everything - and at a young age, it was very stressful to me.

If you look at the statistics, people spend most of their time in the kitchen. Aside from the backyard, it's one of my favorite places to renovate.

It took me a while and a lot of hard times to figure out my purpose, I am so happy with my life. I just want to help make other people happy too.

Concerts every night, autograph signings, endorsements, and so on. That's not what real life is about.
