I've got some growing up to do.

Growing up, I heard as much E-40 and Mac Dre on the radio as I did 50 Cent. It's in our culture to support our own.

Growing up in the Bay, I was still looking for a lot of East Coast hip-hop. I had an older homie put me on to a lot of stuff like Nas' 'Illmatic.'

We're really critical with the process of who we hire. But when you put great people in position, that's how you avoid any missteps.

But the way people commonly use the word nowadays it means something all of whose parts are mutually interdependent - not only for their mutual action, but for their meaning and for their existence.

It's something that I had been pushing down my whole life. The search for meaning, I guess, the whispering of the soul.

Although humans see reality in colour, for me, black and white has always been connected to the image's deeper truth, to its most hidden meaning.

We all learn lessons in life. Some stick, some don't. I have always learned more from rejection and failure than from acceptance and success.
