When anybody pays you to be creative, you're very lucky.

We put stereotypes on ourselves. Everybody does that. But I think it's just a little harder for black kids to just be who they are.

Black men struggle with masculinity so much. The idea that we must always be strong really presses us all down - it keeps us from growing.

I'm very impatient, so I was like, 'I want to be able to do whatever I want now.' But even the biggest stars - you look back and they weren't overnight.

I'm very confident in my point of view. 'Cause I think that that's all you can really have. I'm never really going to know what anybody else is going through, so it's just kind of your job to be expressive with your point of view.
