Those who say it can't be done are usually interrupted by others doing it.
There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.
Whether it's with a 'Metroid' experience or a 'Donkey Kong' experience, we're constantly looking to push the envelope on the IP versus doing sequential small iterations with a particular franchise.
I started singing to this one John Legend record; it was called 'Each Day Gets Better,' or something like that. I started to realize, 'Wow, I really sound like this dude. If I keep doing this, maybe I can sound dope like John Legend and still rap.'
I grew up in New Orleans. I had just moved into my dorm at the University of New Orleans, and I was doing laundry, and my mom called me, like, 'We've got to evacuate. There's a hurricane's coming.'
I made a CD in my dorm room and put it on the Internet, and my friends blew it up. Within a few months, I was doing shows across the country without a record deal, without a single, without anything.

I don't have any respect at all for the scum-bags who went to Canada to avoid the draft or to avoid doing their fair share.
We are all doing drag. Every single person on this planet is doing it.
Somehow I made it onto a show and then another show, and now I'm doing my thing. So, how did I start? Because my sister wanted to be a model, and I was dragged along to support her!
The Americans have their way of talking, their way of dressing, their way of doing things, and we have ours. That's why this whole U.K. underground thing has become sick, because everyone has finally said, 'Yeah, yeah, Drake is sick - but hang on, we are too.'
I was a natural drama queen when I was younger. I was always doing impersonations and showing off.
