I want to be part of a different kind of celebrity, one that thinks not just about charity but policy.

No matter what I'm goin' through, I could still exist.

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

My dad was in the hood, he was a minister, and he would always put churches in the ghetto.

My father being a Caribbean minister, one day I stole the radio. The radio that I stole, I took it to school, showing off how big this boom box was and how bad I was at the time. Once my father figured out where I left the radio, he then got his belt and he walked me, he beat me all the way to where I had hid the radio, and with the boom box.

Keep in mind: true revolution is only seven people, right?

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
