My mother was pretty much on my case all the time.

I have some cops in my family. I understand the predicament that they're in. Sometimes they go into it just to pay the bills or because they don't have other choices, or sometimes they just want to get the gun.

If a woman decides she likes me, it would behoove her to take into consideration that my art has had a strong influence on the type of person I am.

I've reduced a lot of the stress in my life. I've gotten rid of a lot of things. The light was turned on and a lot of the cockroaches started spinning. I swept them out the door. And sometimes you just have to throw things out because they carry a certain energy.

I don't see myself as extremely handsome. I just figure I can charm you into liking me.

So: see ya, and I wouldn't wanna be ya.

I grew up in the Bronx. The Bronx teaches you to survive. It's like, 'Bring it on!'
