“Seafood is one of my biggest pet peeves.”

I think it’s tacky to have chains that go all the way down to your crotch.

I feel like Im able to relate to all races of people because when you learn to tap into the raw emotion of a person, that goes past color.

To live in the moment is truly an art and is truly a talent, because when you live in the moment then you are truly the master of your whole life and you’ll have the best times.

I want to win some awards, sell more records – just do whatever I want.

I just wanted to do something that had some meaning that I can look back and be proud of, that my family can look back and be proud of.

I’m really vulnerable onstage because it’s just me. I’m not really trying to put up a front or act a certain way.

I just remember I wanted to make my own dynasty and not keep following trends. I wanted to make my own.

I never want to look back on life and say I wish I did something, and I don’t want anybody else to do that.

Feeling more comfortable onstage is something I’ve worked on – it’s really about just being the artist I am.

Even though it’s tiring, I’m having the time of my life.

Definitely people like Kanye, inspired me to work hard. He’s somebody who I’ve seen put that grind in over the years.

Patience is the ability to accept trouble, suffering, delay without getting angry or upset, I feel like if you can master patience you can master anything.

For me, personally, Detroit is a melting pot for everything. We get the best from the East Coast, West Coast and down South.

I’m one of the little foxes that spoil the grapes.

Coconut milk is the only thing on this planet that comes identically to mother’s milk.

It is well known among physicians that the best of the nourishing foods is the one that the Moslem religion forbids, i.e., Wine. It contains much good and light nourishment. It is rapidly digested and helps to digest other foods.

Let any pretty girl announce a divorce in Hollywood and the wolves come running. Fresh meat for the beast, and they are always hungry.

Because you don’t live near a bakery doesn’t mean you have to go without cheesecake.

I personally would say that the quickest way to wipe out a group of people is to put them on a soul food diet.

First, you’re going to have to stop using food for anything other than nutrition. You cannot continue to use food to celebrate, or as a companion, or for entertainment, or comfort. You cannot medicate yourself, your mood, or pain with food.

No matter how flat you make a pancake, it’s still got two sides.
