You gotta kind of know there's always going to be that purist who's going to be like if it ain't beats and rhymes, if there ain't a DJ, then that ain't Hip Hop.
You gotta be really careful what you bite off. Don't bite off more than you can chew. It's a dangerous world.

We're actors at the end of the day. I don't take it home with me. My experience outside of work, I love. . . when I hear wrap, it's the most exciting part of my day. I'm the first to have my make-up off, in the car, out. I've gotta go home. I want to get back to my life. I love it back there.

My future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades.
I want to be a jazzman until the day I die. To help keep that motion, momentum and movement going, for myself, for my students, for the people who hear me.
