I Always Felt That Rap Didn't Cause

Experience Is A Great Teacher.

I Think It's A Bit Of A Myth That Black Americans Need One Leader. We're Not A Monolith. And Now That Legal Segregation And Discrimination Has Been Pretty Much Abolished There Isn't The Sort Of Universal Mandate That A Black Leader Would Have. Black Folks Live In A Wide Variety Of Social Situations Right Now.

I Want To Move People, Stir Something Within Them That Makes Them Feel. That's What A Movie Should Do And An Actor Should Do, Make You Feel Something. I Think That's Why People Love Films So Much.

I Feel Like Spirituality Definitely Comes Through In My Music, But I Don't Make Any Specific Efforts To Make It That Way.

My First Big Break Came With Lauryn Hill On A Track Called Everything Is Everything, I Played Piano On That Track Way Back In 1998.
