My fans love what I do. That’s what makes me love what I do. I don’t do it for myself. I don’t do it for money. I really don’t. I’ve turned down money. People know that. When my fans tell me, “Yo, that movie was dope!” it makes me want me to do more movies.
But I probably won’t because I can’t risk having my name associated with anything negative at this critical time. That’s just to protect my brain and my job. There’s no reason to play any games with a career I love.
Trying your best not to get stressed out, the hardest part is not to get down, not to let the business get to you. I think the business is more mental than it is talent. I think you can have the talent, but if you don’t have it up here, I think you can easily just break down.
I don’t prepare for my roles. I don’t watch movies to get inspired. I don’t dig deep. I’ll never be that type of actor, and I doubt that I ever will be.
At the end day, the only thing I owe the public is great entertainment, to respect my fans everywhere I go and to give the people what they want from me. I live by that motto, and it hasn’t steered me wrong yet.

Guys like Todd Bridges never overcame being a child star. You can’t have any big failures. I’ve always felt regular. I played organized ball at the rec league. At 13, they told me I sold 3 million copies. I didn’t know what that meant.
That’s so difficult, to try to deal with every hater. I don’t expect people to like my music whatsoever. How I deal with it is, I don’t give them fuel.
I’m coming for Ryan Seacrest – I want to be the black Ryan Seacrest for BET. I want to host, I want to produce, I want to do everything for the network.
LL Cool J was a rapper-turned-actor, and I also relate to him because he was sort of a ladies’ man and had a female fan base, but yet he’s a positive dude. You never read about him getting into trouble or going to jail.
When I see my own people going through the tough times, it’s a wake-up call. I hope my influence can impact someone else’s decision to get out here and vote.
I never acted out with my actions to show people that I’m getting grown, you never see me with a cigarette, or see me wilding out or doing anything like that.
