People appreciate and follow the person who can persuade them properly. Make that person you.
Sometimes when people are attached to a project, they need persuading to stay attached, and then, in retrospect, they're not the right person.
I'm pessimistic. I don't think that justice always gets the right person.
Pete Rose is the most likable arrogant person I've ever met.
If there is one person in Nigeria that believes that petroleum prices should not go up by one naira, it is President Buhari.
Clipping is a very specific, concept-y thing. We have all these rules: we don't sample drums. We create all our own sounds. I don't speak in the first person. We come from a background of experimental music like John Cage... Philip Glass.
I don't want to put one innocent person to death to put 99 that are guilty to death. So philosophically I'm a tooth-for-tooth guy, but the reality is the death penalty as public policy is flawed.
My mother had a lot of phobias. She's pregnant with me and she was a very phobic person. So I was born into phobia, basically.

The thing is, I am a loving person. I am super sappy when it comes to romance. But I'm not the Antonio Banderas, swashbuckling, Pierce Brosnan, smooth-talking type.
When I started out rapping, I became very frightened by the idea that people were trying to pigeonhole me. That's usually what happens to most female rappers. They fit in a box and there's a prototype or person they're compared to.
I kind of put myself out there as is. I'm a quiet person. I don't know if that's surprising. I'm a Pilates junkie.
I love being an actor so much because, as a person, I would be conscious about pimples and weight because I love vanity, and I own up to it. I have been like that since I was a child, but where my characters are concerned, they are such confident women that I love celebrating my flaws on screen.
