Are you ignorant or do you know something about history? But I'm a person who can do all these different things. It's like everybody is taking that fork in the road. They don't see the rainbow in the middle. And I'm about to ride that. I'm the prism. And my music comes out in colors."

- "I have flashbacks of what happened every day. And anytime I hear about any accident my heart sinks in and I just thank God that I'm still here.
