I'd rather live my life knowing that I'm not perfect than spend my whole life pretending to be.
Haters are the people who will broadcast your failures and whisper your success.
I don't know what my calling is, but I want to be here for a bigger reason. I strive to be like the greatest people who have ever lived.
I want the world to be better because I was here.
So if you stay ready, you ain't gotta get ready, and that is how I run my life.
You can cry, ain't no shame in it.
Love is the ultimate theme, but it's not just for women.
A rapper is about being completely true to yourself. Being an actor is about changing who you are.
I'm motivated by fear...a fear of fear. I hate being afraid to do something.
I don't want to be an icon. I want to be an idea. I want to represent possibilities.
The road to success is through commitment.
I love living. I think that's infectious, it's something you can't fake.
Before 2010, I had a vision. I saw a family in my mind that I wanted to have. And I was pushing and driving hard for my picture, and then I realized everyone has their own journey. I have to support what they want to do. I have to support the vision that they have for themselves, not my vision. That was excruciating for me.
The big thing I tell my kids is you have to control how you label things. It's very important to me they understand the power they have to create the lives that they want.
