Like Any Family, Like Any Group -

I Don't Want To Misrepresent Who I Am Personally. I Don't Want My Kids To See Me On A Talk Show And Say, "you're Talking Different" Or "you Look Different, Dad." I'm Not Gonna Be An Animal; I Know How To Conduct Myself.

Call It Stubborn, Call It Ignorant, Call It What You Want, But I Don't Think I Have To Join A Particular Faith Or Culture Or Creed Or Religion Just To Fit In.

Like Any Family, Like Any Group - The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Epmd, Public Enemy - They've Had Bumps In The Road. I Just Think That Because A Tribe Called Quest Is So Precious To Fans, They Were Concerned About Unveiling Some Of Those Things.

I See These Other Actors Come Up With This Tough-guy Personas And Now When They're On Talk Shows They're All... But That's Not Really The Way They Are. I Probably Could Have Used A Little Bit Of That. At One Point I Was Labeled "the King Of Dumb White Guys." I Was Offended By That When I Was Younger, But I Understand What That's From, So I Was Like, "only A Genius Can Play A Fool." But I'm Very Aware Of That, And I'll Play Into It And Use It However I Need To Use It.

When You're Playing This Bad Of A Character, It's Obviously Not Reality For Someone Who's Not Living That Life.
