The youth are very important to me, they're the next generation, but I want to instill in kids, even in playing, that it's never too late and there's no right or wrong way to do anything.

What drives me is really just being able to be a blessing to someone, you know. I really enjoy that, and as much as I can do, I will.

To me, the stage is like my living room, or my home, and when you come over to my house, I have to be a hostess and invite you in so that we can have a great time.

The point in me playing with Prince was to let a lot of people know that I can play trap. I don't think people know that.

I love talking to the youth and helping them as much as I can or encouraging them, if I can help them at all.
