“You stand up for what you believe in.”

I don’t spend my time on farms. I don’t like the smell, to be honest.

I don’t check Twitter as much or tweet as often because, honestly, sometimes social media is draining and brings out all of the negative things going on.

I do have a lot of music out.

My mom loves music and it poured into my childhood.

I just really enjoy doing it and I’ve always loved making music.

I feel like there’s a lot of pressure on artists to be 100-percent organic all the time.

My mom was a painter and loves to sing behind closed doors.

I just started singing ’cause I had dropped out of school.

We need people who are open to doing something with theme, something with a cartoonish twist.

Its cool that people appreciate fun stuff.

I appreciate people who make hip-hop, the way A Tribe Called Quest and Lauryn Hill and KRS-One did it.

I tried writing a song and it wasn’t very good. I sung it to my mom and she told me it was bad – but I was eight, so it’s okay.

I guess passion keeps me going.

Be whatever you want to be.

We should all learn from our experiences, but I don’t think hatred is the best way to deal with ignorance.

I have a song called ‘Waffles Are Better Than Pancakes.’ If I can’t be goofy, I’ll go insane.

Foolish people follow the system, get caught up in media news, what the government wants you to believe and all the higher powers want you to believe, and go down the same path as all the sheep in the cattle market.

I believe there is a lesson in everything that you do.

I was a common man, and I will always remain a common man. No amount of stardom will ever consume my soul. Money comes, money goes. Fame comes, fame goes. I believe every human being is a celebrity in their own right.

I believe all woman look good in dresses; is that a crime?

I’m just a regular person who believes life is simple, and I like a simple life.

I believe that children are our future

I do believe he’s the greatest, but forget about boxing – give that to Joe Louis, or somebody – I believe he’s one of the greatest men I’ve ever met.

I’m a boxer who believes that the object of the sport is to hit and not get hit.
