Growing up for me in the Philippines was hard to read comic books because I'm blind.

Growing up, I've always kinda been into academics.

It was already hard enough growing up in the Philippines but imagine being blind, that's 10 times harder.

When Will and I were growing up in Los Angeles, his girlfriends were always Israeli, so we'd always be hanging out with Israelis in L.A.

While I take inspiration from the past, like most Americans, I live for the future.

Working with Timbaland, he gives me insight; he throws me different ways to approach the beat, and those extra tips go a long way. I know that he's worked with some of the greats, so it's just motivation. I feel inspired when we're in the booth together.

If you have Palestinians who have no hope, who don't have a job, who've used up all their resources, the notion of getting rid of violence is a dream.

I find inspiration in each and every person that I cross paths with. Every human being I interact with offers me a significant insight on some aspect of life.
