On Drug dealing
''I know about budgets. I was a drug dealer.
To be in a drug deal, you need to know what
you can spend, what you need to re-up.

Not until later, when I realised the effects on the community, I started looking at the
community on the whole, but in the beginning
no.

I was thinking about surviving. I was
thinking about improving my situation. I was
thinking about buying clothes.'

your window (for dealing drugs) is very small.

You're going to get locked up or you're going to die."

On dating Beyonce…
''We were just beginning to try to date each
other. Well, you know, you've got to try
first. You got to dazzle ... wine and dine.

If I'm as cool as I am, yes. But she's a
charming Southern girl, you know, she's not
impressed... But I would have definitely had
to be this cool.'
