How most consumers collect and interpret health information has changed.
Look at your world and your life, and look at what is personal to you. If you're living in an apartment, you need to stick with a narrative that's personal to you.
People with big personalities are best in the center of the table. They can help carry the conversation from that place.
People buy very badly made furniture and fabric. Instead, buy a beautiful dining table, well-made upholstery. It's almost like dressing for success.
Make sure furniture decor has similar scale. It's all about scale, proportion, measuring, being conscious of the overall plan.
Be judicious with your budget and buy things that are going to last.
People get trapped in the way things should feel and less focused on the way things should function.
I go all the way back to the Hot Boys days and being 13, listening to this dude. Just remembering the staple he put on the game back then all the way to now, to have that longevity years beyond it. So for him to actually acknowledge what I'm doing right now and seeing it as a path, the same way the longevity he created, it's a great feeling to actually share that same stage and a moment with him. Wayne ain't no new jack to this game. He influenced a lot of styles and a lot of sounds. I would say I was influenced by a recent sound and flow, and cadence that he brung to the game.
I have made it a rule never to smoke more that one cigar at a time.
At a certain age you start becoming brave enough to reveal yourself and it's the revealing of who you are that enables you to dig deeper into different characters. You'll get to a point where you can say: 'I can relate to that', 'I know that', 'I don't have to make that up' and that resonates with people in the audience who can tell that you've been there.
I love being onstage. I love the relationship with the audience. I love the letting go, the sense of discovery, the improvising.
