I was born in Dallas, Texas, but I was raised in south Florida. Ice Ice Baby is about that area.

I own a mortgage company and a real estate company funded by the music. Florida is a kinda gold mine.

I live off a motto that says, 'yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery'. I have goals and agendas. Where ever I'll be tomorrow, that's where I'll be.

I like Jay-Z, 50 Cent and Common. But I like the underground stuff like Young Jeezy, Black Rob and Shine. I also love heavy metal like Slipknot and Pantera, It's very intense stuff.

I've been playing concerts for many years, and it's still as exciting as it was the first time. I hope that shows when I'm performing.

I don't harp on what I could change about the past, because I can't go back and change it. But definitely a lot of things I would change.

I don't have any reason to hate anybody I believe in good karma and spreading good energy.

I use the music to vent, and a lot of the stuff that I am writing about or was writing about contained a lot of anger and anxiety, stress and depression, so that's how the album came out so dark.

I bring people on stage with me. It's a good time, and people love to join in on the party. Show me a smile, and I'll show you one back.

Rap is from the streets and I'm from the streets. That's why a lot of people accept me.

Not everyone agrees on music. Some people like rap, some like country - it's all an opinion. F the critics.

All my friends were black and Mexican. I was the only white kid in our group and had to work hard to be accepted. Year after year, we'd breakdance and we all became close and they labeled me Vanilla - like Hey, Vanilla and they knew I hated it, so of course they kept calling me it.

For three years between 16 and 19 I was the opening-act-for-the-opening-act-for-the-opening-act, you know? And then I was on tour with Ice-T, Stetsasonic, EPMD, Sir Mix-a-Lot--legends--and went on to sell 160 million records. It still baffles me.

Concerts every night, autograph signings, endorsements, and so on. That's not what real life is about.

I didn't want the public in my personal life at all - I thought that people might perceive me as too normal, and I'd lose that larger-than-life rock star persona. You've got to protect that!

One thing I didn't understand in life was that I had $100,000,000 in the bank and I couldn't buy happiness. I had everything: mansions, yachts, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, but I was depressed. I didn't know where I fitted in. But then I found family and friends and I learned the value of life.

When 'Ice Ice Baby' was selling a million records a day, I bought several properties: a home next to Michael J. Fox in L.A., a palace in Miami and a mountain cabin in Utah. Then, a few years later, I took a break from touring, saw that my properties had cobwebs, so I sold them, and - to my surprise - I made a huge profit!

With the mega-fame came the mega-downfall - you know, with the press and everything - and at a young age, it was very stressful to me.

I have been known to hang out and party back in the day. I had a weekend that lasted a few years.
