If there's something that can be formulated regulated give you security then nobody would lose money. Every movie would be successful. And that's certainly not the case.

I grew up in a really small town with not a lot of money and I liked singing but it was just something that was a hobby.

Hollywood is so fake and people need to realize that people are just people and you too don't need to be born into something or have money or have whatever product someone is hawking on you.

You're right on the money with that. We're all like detectives in life. There's something at the end of the trail that we're all looking for.

I know a lot of celebrities who are perfectly happy to put their name to something and then leave it at that because the money is good but I need to have complete control over how something is going to look if my name is going to be attached to it.

I'm free of stress and worries now because if I don't like something I'm doing I just find the fun in it instead of being miserable. Let me have fun with the people I work with let me have fun making money - when I grew up so poor ya know?

Music has always been my back door to life. It is important for people to find something that excites them. I like the concept that if you do what excites you you will be rewarded generously whatever form reward takes which is not necessarily money.

A lot of people in the media and some everyday people really aren't in search of the truth. They're in search of something worse than that. Money yeah. I think the media's the kind of a thing where the truth doesn't win because it's no fun. The truth's no fun.

The trouble with our people is as soon as they got out of slavery they didn't want to give the white man nothing else. But the fact is you got to give em something. Either your money your land your woman or your ass.

Find something in life that you love doing. If you make a lot of money that's a bonus and if you don't you still won't hate going to work.
