So then I started doing a lot of episodic TV just car chases or helicopter chases or whatever.

I started out by believing God for a newer car than the one I was driving. I started out believing God for a nicer apartment than I had. Then I moved up.

I always loved music. You know my parents said I started singing when I was 4 in the car.

I started rapping before anybody had ever bought a car from it. It was truly about the art form and the culture more so than now where it's a successful way to make money. Back then you had to be doing it because you liked it.

On Memorial Day I was out floating on Lake Norman and came across Denny Hamlin. We struck up a conversation and one of the first things we were talking about was how much it helped him when he started racing the Cup car and how much it helped his Nationwide program.

The greatest pleasure when I started making money was not buying cars or yachts but finding myself able to have as many freshly typed drafts as possible.

The most important decision I've made in business? The choices of people I have around me. When I first started I brought everybody with me my homies from the neighborhood criminals. I just said 'Come on everybody we made it.' Then I had to realize we didn't make it. I made it.

I've always wanted to be the best in the world as a baseball player so when I started to think about opening a business it was with that mindset.

I started cooking in kitchens right out of high school and I was lucky to work with a lot of great people but I had no idea it would turn into this. Of course no one should go into this business because they want to be the next Emeril.

I am just at that stage of wondering where I go from here. I came into this business almost by accident but now it has become serious. What started as a bit of fun something to do other than be a model has taken on a different career curve. I have been forced to ask where that curve is going to end up.
