I Do Speak To Kids A Lot.

Hip-hop And R&b Are Especially Fertile Bases Of Collaboration. It Always Makes Good Records And Good Music.

Even If You Can Sing Or Even If You Can Write A Song, It Takes A Lot Of Determination, It Takes Some Kind Of Thick Skin, Because You Got To Persevere Despite The Fact That People Tell You You Shouldn't Do This Or You Shouldn't Do That Or You're Not Good Enough Or Your Style's Too Different. I've Heard All Of That Stuff.

If A Few People Decide Not To Buy My Album It's Really Not Going To Change My Life That Much.

I Think You're Always Policing Yourself By Trying To Do What You Think Would Be "cool" And Accepted By Other People, Until You Start To Figure Out Who You Really Want To Be. Growing Up Is An Ongoing Push-and-pull Of You Being Yourself And You Performing To What Society Expects You To Be.

I Want You To Live The Best Life You Can. You Can Be World-changers. .. Pursue This Life Of Love With Focus And Passion And Ambition And Courage. Give It Your All. And That Will Be Your Path To True Success.
