There we times when everybody in the house has the flu. You're cleaning up vomit and it's 2 in the morning and you're wishing there was somebody else there to help you.
I loved fantasy but I particularly loved the stories in which somebody got out of where they were and into somewhere better - as in the 'Chronicles Of Narnia ' 'The Wizard Of Oz ' 'The Phantom Tollbooth ' the 'Dungeons & Dragons' cartoon on Saturday morning in the '80s.
Somebody said to me this morning 'To what do you attribute your longevity?' I don't know. I mean I couldn't have planned my life out better. By all accounts I should be dead! The abuse I put my body through: the drugs the alcohol the lifestyle I've lived the last 30 years!
People don't have time to wait for somebody to paint their portraits anymore. The money is in photography.
Who would you want to be giving you advice? Somebody who doesn't have any money?
Don't cling to fame. You're just borrowing it. It's like money. You're going to die and somebody else is going to get it.
I advise everybody not to save: spend your money. Most people save all their lives and leave it to somebody else. Money is to be enjoyed.
A liberal is a man who is willing to spend somebody else's money.
There was one thing my daddy wouldn't tolerate in any shape form or fashion and that was being unkind or rude to somebody. That was just very important to my folks. And as it turns out that was a legacy that he left me that money can't buy is how to be able to treat people.
I want somebody like my mom. My mom is a very charitable woman. She's the sweetest woman in the world. I'm looking for the second sweetest woman in the world. I'm looking for honesty and a big heart.
I'm somebody who doesn't work with a stylist. I'll be honest with you I'm a mom and it's just not something I want to put money toward because it's expensive to have somebody who helps dress you and I feel like I have to pay for preschool and so many things... so I don't have a stylist.
My mom didn't let me play video games growing up so now I do. Gaming gives me a chance to just let go blow somebody up and fight somebody from another dimension. It's all escapism.
We need somebody who's got the heart the empathy to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom the empathy to understand what it's like to be poor or African-American or gay or disabled or old - and that's the criterion by which I'll be selecting my judges.
I say I never wanna get married. I feel trapped with the idea of marriage. How can you really be with somebody forever? I'd get bored! As I get older I don't settle. I'd rather tell somebody 'This is what I want - take it or leave it.'
For me it's also - the music is equally as important. I mean I think as somebody who writes music there just has to sort of be the marriage between both.
I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage. But when you start playing around with constitutions just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person it just seems to me that's not what America's about. Usually our constitutions expand liberties they don't contract them.
A lot of times black folks look for love in all the wrong places. You're always looking for somebody to love you be accepted and there's the insecurities that are even transmitted through rap. Everyone is trying to aim to please too much.
