“Most aspiring child actors or child stars have a passion for it. But as easy as it is for me to say that I wouldn't put my kids in it, if I saw that they really, really wanted to do and they had the drive, then I would fully support it. As long as there's balance at home, then they could do whatever they wanted to do.”

“I always say that candy is the perfect studio food - it keeps your energy going.”

“You have to be vigorous. That's the only way you are going to get it because everybody has dreams and everybody has goals, but the only people who achieve them are the ones that go after it and don't take no for an answer.”

“Real men change diapers!”

“This is my chance to get out there and appease the fans of my music as well as show people that I do do standup comedy because a lot of people don't know that's where I started.”

“The beautiful thing about acting is that you can just dive into the character, strip yourself of everything, and just get in there and perfect your craft.”

“I am a hopeless romantic, and so is my wife.”

“I think it takes a strong man to be in a relationship with a strong woman. A lot of people hear the word 'diva' and think of it as a negative. I see it as a positive. I want somebody who knows what they want out of life and isn't afraid to show it.”

“Just speak yourself into existence. Whatever you want, speak it. You can see it.”

“I'm not geeky but I have my geeky, corky moments, and then I've got some aspects of cool in me, I guess.”

“I've never been able to sky-dive, and I've always wanted to. I've probably done everything else, but for some reason the insurance company won't let me do it.”

“Even though I am fortunate to have certain luxuries, sometimes, I am even amazed by what people with money have and do. I want to remind people that just because you might be rich and famous, it doesn't mean you have to take yourself too seriously.”

“In the hip-hop community, it's about how real are you, or how strong can you be, and really my music just reflects me. If you can accept me, then you can accept my music.”

“If I have a talent, it's already been exploited! I've shown everything I can do to the public.”

“The people who truly love me and loved me before all of this stuff. You can't ever leave them behind.”
