When you don't have those types of things, fashion and all that stuff, it helps you find yourself because you don't have those things to rely on.
I am a hopeless romantic, and so is my wife.
Imagine if you've got the diva of all divas. If we've got to be somewhere at five or six o'clock, I tell her its time to go at noon so she gets those five hours to do what she needs to do. But were both kids at heart. She is the funniest person ever and she has a great sense of humor. We connect at a spiritual level.
I'm a musician. I play instruments. I dabble in the hip-hop field. That doesn't take vocal ability necessarily.
I think my kids give mommy more attention than they give me.
I love 'Wild 'N Out' so much - one, because it's my baby, but also I get to see others succeed and go on to lead their own careers.
I am not worthy to be on a Mariah Carey record. She's a true artist, so I just step back and watch the genius occur.
I was rapping at eight.
Family is always first.
A lot of people don't know the first time I was ever on national television I was a 'Soul Train' dancer.
So my father was a person who never lied to me. If I had a question, he answered it. I knew a lot of things at a young age because I was intrigued.
I was actually raised around a lot of children. So, I'm very comfortable around children.
Having children obviously changes your priorities, but when you start to see life through these innocent eyes and seeing everything for the first time, you appreciate the small things.
Trying to save a hater is like trying to teach astrophysics to a wino!
