I stayed involved with music my whole life. I was always playing with other people.

I never really know what I'm playing. I just follow what sounds good in my head and keep going.

I realized the more I made the music for myself, the more successful I was becoming.

I think people want to put you in a box and close it away so that it makes them feel better. A lot of musicians get that.

I gave up that idea of trying to make music that I thought other people would want. I just made music for myself and music for people that I knew.

I write everything. I have that control issue with my music. That's why I'm not in a band.

I'm learning as I go. The music has drawn me out of my shell. It's made me open my door a little more and be able to look at people in the eye.

Someone asked me if I was a method actor - I loved that! I needed to know what it felt like to lose everything just to do the Bad Day video! I could really feel the angst!

I just did whatever it took to keep making music - I slept on couches. You would be amazed at how far $20 can go if you stretch it out.

I was doing stuff that for me was sort of more about playing real music.

But whatever the reason, it felt surreal

The free-will of men and the sovereignty of God are operationally co-existent, neither Reality impunes the 'co-dependent' authority of the other".R. Alan Woods [2012]

Unfortunately, the attitude of many towards the press, humanitarians included and especially government workers, is often one of suspicion, if not outright fear.

Everyone gets real quiet 'cause they're a little uncomfortable.

..When I first heard Elvis' voice, I knew that I wasn't going to work for anybody ... hearing him for the first time was like busting out of jail

Iran is celebrating the nuclear deal. The Iranians are going crazy. They're drinking non-alcoholic champagne and thinking about dancing. That's how excited they are.

I've worked with a lot of really fine actors, both on stage and on screen. The level of their game lifts me up and brings the level of my game up to theirs. Always. It's like a constant upgrade.

Ninety percent of video game AI really is pretty damn bad. I think that's actually why it's so much fun to shoot things. Because the AI is so bad and the characters are so annoying.

For me, surviving Compton is surviving the men, because Suge and Dre are from Compton. So in my world, in my mind, I survived their mentality.

Everything I've done has always been my own made up world with its own rules and its own made up stories.
