Once or twice a week, I try to do some kind of boxing. I'm hitting the bags and jumping rope - all that stuff.

Eating right has made the biggest difference in my body.

In the early '80s, it was hard to find celebrities you can identify with if you lived in the hood. There weren't any rap videos at the time.

I know a lot of people who are weak, who are in a perpetual cycle of poverty and being locked up. There are guys from my neighborhood who are in jail or who are dead. It does take a certain strength to know your environment and say, 'I can grow beyond it.'

I do like sci-fi, absolutely. I've watched everything from 'Star Trek' to 'Star Wars' to 'Terminator' - the list goes on and on.

Bags full of candy are a scary reminder of the childhood obesity epidemic.

I wore miniskirts when I was younger. We used to hide them in our bags before going out.

You have no idea how many bags of money I've had to turn down. But if something doesn't match up with our goals - if it's too violent, or even if it's just too boring - my father may have been a philosopher, but he was always an entertainer - we're not going to take the money.
