I never want to confuse people or go over their heads.
I sleep on my stomach with my head under a bunch of pillows so if someone wants to come in and try to kill me they can't tell if I'm there or not, so they'll just leave.
When you're from the East Coast or you're from the South, people expect you to sound a certain way. So if you don't sound that way, people won't label you as that type of artist. For me, I had a whole new lane to create for myself being from Pittsbur...
I critique myself way harder than anybody else could critique me.
Philly is more East Coast than Pittsburgh. It's closer to New Jersey and New York, so the vibe is way more fast-paced.
I see myself as like the lead singer of a band or something.
Whatever I do, I do it because I want to do it and because it's completely, 100% me.
I never write from concept. The beat is the beginning, and then I fill in the rest of the song into what it should be.
I don't have problems with people, because if I do, I address it.
I train six days a week for four to five hours a day. I like to keep the same schedule when I'm in camp for every fight.
These nuclear plants are more dangerous than people realize.
I always train and prepare with highest concentration and focus on my next opponent. To me, it does not matter what his name is.

My goal is not getting hit and to knock the other guy out. Some people might complain because they want to see boxers beat up on each other, but you cannot last long in professional boxing if you take a lot of punches.
I was born in Shanghai and moved to Hong Kong the year I was five.
Some actors like encouragement. Some actors prefer to have pressure. And sometimes, for some actors, its better to give your comment by silence, because they are so skillful, so gifted, that they understand without talking too much.
I'm not very aware of styles. We never talk about styles before we start shooting, or even during shooting, because I think the film will bring you there.
The crack of the bat, the sound of baseballs thumping into gloves, the infield chatter are like birdsong to the baseball starved.
I don't believe in the afterlife.
I knew how to read box scores and who the baseball heroes were before I had ever seen or even heard much of a game.
