Me and my father went through a war period where we wasn't talking. He wanted me to go to theology school - I didn't want to go. I wanted to do music. I told him I was a minister through music.

I don't see no more Billie Holidays, no more Marvin Gayes, no more Smokey Robinsons. I don't even see no more Nirvanas.

It will be true work that the kids can follow, as opposed to a facade of you doin' something, and you're doin' nothing.

For everybody who lost somebody out there and stuff, when you need therapy, music is the best way.

The reason why we're warriors is that we rise to the occasion; anyone that's felt like the system put them down, and then they rose to the occasion, they're a warrior. It's not about whether you come from the hood or you come from the suburbs, you know what I mean? It's about reality and life.

I've been communicating with the Fugees, and it feels a lot better now than it did three or four years ago.

I always look outside.
