When you get in the pocket, there is a place where the music begins to play itself. When you can find that spot, it's the best feeling in the world.

I was knocked out by the show, Chicago.

I got a very good life. I sold plenty of records, I get recognized plenty, I can always have somebody call up and get me a fine table at a restaurant. What do you really need, ultimately?

Film is a lark to me - thank God I don't have to make a living from it.

People don't understand that where I come from, everyone is either a convict, been in jail, been in a gang, is a hooligan of some sorts, but those are my brothers, my family and the people that I travel with. Those are the people that I roll with.

At my age - 31, nearly 32 - the No. 9 role is perfect for me. But it is important to adapt to whatever the team and the coach need.

For the sexuality thing, I really feel like the reason I speak so blunt about it is because I held it in for so long. I never told my mom. I never told my family. I kept it to myself. Now, I'm happy with who I am. Either you accept it, or you don't. There's a lot of rappers out there that's like that, but no one's stepping up.

My whole family, my father's side, there was a great deal of depression, and my mother's side as well.
