They got the boats blowing up, they blowing up buildings, ... They got people strapped with C-4. You got people lying in the middle of the street getting hit with Mack trucks. It's crazy.
I'd like to say I'm R&B's savior. Whether that's the truth or not, I'm definitely going out there with my mic and my shield to declare, 'I am here to save R&B.' I will have the people saying, 'Sir, there is a man at the musical gates saying he is here to save R&B.'
I look forward to working with the NAACP in bringing immediate and ongoing aid to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina was a heart attack that revealed a long history of social illnesses. You can't be human and watch all these different things go down and not do anything, ... People from all over the world are looking at these images and saying, wow; we just really want to help. So at the end of the day it's all of us.
I think that music is two things. It's either in the club or in the bedroom.
Don't kill this guy. Don't kill him. We've got our fingers crossed.
Some say that sex is overrated but they just ain't doin' it right!

Stand-up is my heart and now I get a chance to do that and the music altogether. That's going to be great. I'm trying to be the Sammy Davis Jr. of 2005. I'm planning on going out with Cedric the Entertainer because he's got that musical bone, too.
They were more like, 'How was it on the mountaintop?' and I'd sit down and tell 'em, ... 'Wow, you can't believe this! There was Clint Eastwood over there and this other person over there.' It was amazing to be able to come back and share that with cats who may be able to achieve it, too.
Can I just tell you that I am having the ride of my life right now? I wish I could take what I'm feeling right now and put it in the water system, and we would all love each other a whole lot more.
Since we're at the Met, we've got some opera that we have to sing. So we're going to do a little hip hop opera. It's going to be off the hook.
