I don’t like to spend a lot of time talking about the problem, stressing out or being dramatic about it. I like to try and figure out how I can fix it.” “You know what, I didn’t see myself being an executive producer.” “You get a different respect when you can handle things on the behind the scenes end as well as in front of the camera or in front of the mic.” “When you're in a situation where somebody puts something on you that you don't even know how to defend because it's not true... how do you defend that? It's just like, ‘You know what? I'm going to take what you said about me, flip it, and make it lucrative.’” “A lot of times with artists from back in the day, they do a new album and they don't sell as much. People say they love them, and it doesn't always translate to new music.” Internal link
