Quote

Don't believe the hype. I don't care how many number ones you have at the box office, I don't care how much they say you're great, don't believe it. Just stay in your lane and do what you're supposed to do.

The question that a lot of people ask me all the time is how did you make it? The truth be told, it was nothing but the grace of God.
