A lot of people think that you easily get roles because you do music. I mean, you could knock on the door faster than anybody, but it doesn’t necessarily get you in...

With music, you can portray a certain thing, but in film, sometimes you have to let yourself go to a point where that can be attractive to a person, that you’re willing to let yourself go that much. It works both ways.

I’m a fan of making things that I’ve seen but couldn’t purchase, or things I bought that didn’t fit the way I like.

As a rapper, I don’t freestyle. I used to freestyle when I used to get drunk, and it didn’t matter.

People see you on screen and they like you, but they never really get a chance to meet you. When you’re doing music, you know you have to go sit at in-stores, and you’re actually in the street, so there’s more of a hands-on kind of thing.

It’s harder to be a success, globally, and be artistic. Harder to have that balance than just to be artistic when nobody understands you.

When I’m shooting a film, I don’t look at playback. I don’t go and do a scene and then hurry up and watch what I just did. I never look at it so I haven’t seen any of it.

To be honest, I don’t necessarily think you have to be an actor to act. You don’t have to be a musician to make great music. If it comes along and you put your all into it, the outcome is what’s important.

But I am a lover of all kinds of art. And I just can’t stick to one thing. I guess I could if I made myself, but I’d always be looking the other way, for other things.

I just try things. And the things I like, sometimes they work, and sometimes they don’t. You can look at pictures where I just look terrible. But the older I get, the more I know what works. It’s for the better.
