I'm constantly reinventing myself. It's a constant thing that I do.

A lot of beautiful women that I have come across are the most insecure.

I don't make records just for the ladies. I make it for the fellas, too.

Racism is very prevalent and alive... in this country and in this world.

I think you have some artists who try to be as conscious as they can be.

The music that I write, I have to actually own it and live by it, which is cool. It's no problem.

I think I am the type of artist that, time and time again, either people love or don't know about.

I've blown myself up as a revolutionary and conscious artist. As a philanthropist and a performer.

In schools, many kids are asked, "What is your plan?," but many aren't even thinking that far ahead.

We live in a world where there is so much wealth. There shouldn't be a homeless person. That's crazy.
