I'm Just An Artist And I'm Doin'

I Never Had Any Ambitions Of Being A Movie Star Or Anything Like That, But You Know, This Is Nice.

I've Been Fortunate With My Acting Career. A Lot Of Scripts Come To Me. I Don't Mind Auditioning If Something That Requires That, But I Haven't Had To In Awhile, Which Is A Nice Place To Be 'cause I've Been On Quite A Lot Of Auditions In My Life.

Hip-hop Is The Last True Folk Art.

There Was A Time When Hip-hop Was Its Own Musical Principle, Aside From Sampling. Like The Entire Wild Style Break Is Instrumental. Kurtis Blow's Earliest Stuff Was Studio Musicians Playing. Whodini Had A Real Clear Sound, Things Like "five Minutes Of Funk," Stuff That You Could Write Really Beautiful, Lush String And Horn Arrangements Around, Stuff That Was Just Music.

Fame Is Like Getting Across The Street. It's Like, If There's Nothing To Be Across The Street For, It's A Pointless Destination.
