I have solid decent people around me, and I believe that is all it is, because you will get destroyed if you have people bringing you down.
I don't have a ton of friends, but the friends I have are great ones. I don't have huge family, but the family I have is a great one.
If I want to be alone, some place I can write, I can read, I can pray, I can cry, I can do whatever I want - I go to the bathroom.
I am able to hang with the hardest, the baddest, the worst, and I'm able to hang with the most proper and be at ease. I'm able to hang with any skin colour, any belief. I just fit in everywhere.
Things can be really empty in this world, and I don't just mean the music world. It can become a very meaningless place if you don't really understand: 'who am I? Why am I here? What am I doing?' To feel fulfilment and have a deeper level of understanding, personally, that is the most important thing.
Sometimes I've gotten photographs back and people have literally shaven off pieces of me, and I tell them to put it back.
I grew up around the theatre. My mother is an actress. I would fall asleep on tons of theatre chairs. It's in my blood; it's in my spirit and my fabric of who I am.
I believe in the limitlessness of humans. We're capable of incredible things. At times, that realization is frightening.
I was worried that one day, 40 years from now, I would look back and wouldn't be able to remember the details of my life, so I've written them all down.
There's too much darkness in the world. Everywhere you turn, someone is tryin' to tear someone down in some way; everywhere you go, there's a feeling of inadequacy, or a feeling that you're not good enough. I want to bring a certain light to the world.
And I love kick boxing. It's a lot of fun. It gives you a lot of confidence when you can kick somebody in the head.
