I think when you move past your fear and you go after your dreams wholeheartedly, you become free. Know what I'm saying? Move past the fear.

You can't let your past hold your future hostage.

Once you achieve one goal, you should be looking forward to trying to build onto the next thing, and not just getting comfortable with what you're doing.

When adversity strikes, that's when you have to be the most calm. Take a step back, stay strong, stay grounded and press on.

Hip-hop's always reached out to kids. If you look at the last 10 big albums it might seem ironic. But when I look at the history of this music it's always had a lot of positivity.

Hip-hop can be limiting and I refuse to accept limits.

God blesses us all with different views and perspectives and levels of influence and power.

I just like to do different things. What is more important than the name is that people know that I really like acting, I enjoy it and I want people to know that I am serious.

As a black man, my hope is that I can touch more and more people all over the world of different races and different colours.

I try to do the right thing with money. Save a dollar here and there, clip some coupons. Buy ten gold chains instead of 20. Four summer homes instead of eight.

We're going to raise a lot of money for cancer awareness, give some to the American Cancer Society and hopefully make a big difference.

I don't have an image that I'm trying to, like, portray. I'm just being me.
