When I lose touch with the audience and the reality of what life really is, I'll be Vanilla Ice or something.

It was important that I became successful. People say they do it for the love, and yes, you do it for the love, but you want to be successful

I'm not going away fast; I've been around for a while, and plan to be around for a while more.

In the beginning I had women problems, 'cause you know, I represent for the guys. But I was actin' a fool, whilin' out. I'm not sayin' I don't while out anymore. I'm not gonna lie to you.

I was a jazz major in high school, in an all-jazz band. No matter what I do, it features my musical influences.

My daddy was a minister, my grandfather was a voodoo priest, my uncle was a mason; I was raised with a lot of studies.

I'm 27 years old. I'm going to go into Hollywood really arrogant. I'll be breaking a lot of rules. It's going to be hot.
