"I'm a beauty school drop-out, but I did learn a few things to do to my hair."
| "A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don't think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time."
| "I always felt like the rug could be pulled out from under me at anytime. And coming from a racially mixed background, I always felt like I didn't really fit in anywhere."
| "I know I can be diva-ish sometimes, but I have to be in control. The nature of my life, the nature of what I do, is divadom, it really is."
