He [ the son]'s grown up listening to all types of music, and the natural form of rebellion is to find the one genre that maybe he hasn't listened to and to make that his thing.
I actually love my natural hair when it's in a twist out and it's been slept on for five days and revived by the steam of the shower.
I don't really have guilty pleasures. Anything musically that I fully, fully believe, is good no matter who the artist is, no matter what the marketing is behind it, I stand pretty firm.

Any decision I make is based on myself, and the only person I have to give an explanation to is God.
You get educated by traveling.
