I never weighed myself when I was at my lightest because I didn't want to know.

I'll never take the easy way out.

I do want to be a representative of the African community, and I want to hold myself and dress myself in a way that reflects that. I want black kids to see me and think, 'Okay, he's carrying himself as a black man, and that's how a black man should carry himself.'

People are dying in vain because this country isn't holding their end of the bargain up as far as, you know, giving freedom and justice and liberty to everybody.

The biggest thing is I watch myself: What I need to improve on, what I can do different.

I don't believe in pressure. The pressure is not being prepared for what you want to do.
