I love my wife. We FaceTime and we talk on the phone and she travels to come see me when she can. But she works as well. But we see each other a lot more than people would think, though, because we make it happen and we love each other so much.

I think hip-hop is really fun right now... and that's why people are using dance beats and singing more.

I think wherever you go, when people hear good music, they will react to it.

If you think it's necessary to judge me by my past, don't get mad when I put you there.

In each mind resides a potential so potent. They make us think that we ain't got it.

I made my first mix tape when I was 14. I used to play basketball and ride bikes, but I think I just latched onto music because I figured I could be really good at it on my own.

There are certain neighborhoods in America like that - like in Pittsburgh, where I'm from - where people wouldn't think it's even livable for human beings. Those are the areas that I connect with because I come from places like that, and I just think it's interesting how the rest of the world acts like it doesn't exist. But a lot of the best things come from there.
