I was in the projects dreaming about doing music and now I've done music. When I had nothing to when I had something I still have this driving force that's fueling me every day and that's making ideas reality.

But I will wear white - the whitest white! - purest most pristine white! - through the dark terrible days of winter - as no man of our time will ever dare.

I was born and raised in East Los Angeles by a single mom who had three biological kids and adopted four more. I never met my dad.

If my mind's not trying to fix something or create something, I don't know what to do. It just throws me off.

Waste is only waste if we waste it.

Have different people in your fold. Have cross-disciplinary collaborations.

I don't want to hope anymore. I don't think we should hope anymore. We hoped enough. Now we have to do. We all have to do now.
