I have always disliked the idea of an arts ghetto in which poetry is kept on a life-support system.

I always like to be somebody scary. When I was little, my mom used to make our costumes. She's really creative and would make us great costumes without having to spend a lot.

Articulation is the tongue-tied's fighting.

I used to be scared of the Candyman. You'd say his name three times in the mirror and then he'd come get you. I was terrified of that stuff becoming true. My older cousins used to say things to make us believe crazy stories like that, so I was scared of the Candymanuntil I knew better.

Not becoming 'something' scares me the most. I just want to be remembered for something great.
