'Straight Outta Compton' is my first biopic, my first period piece, and I got a chance to kind of get out there like some of my idols, you know, like Scorsese, Spielberg, Spike Lee, the guys who came before me. You know, I'm feeling good about it.

You kind of hope as a musician that you get some recognition for what you do, and when you do, it's nice. It's a really good feeling.

It's hard to get that real good feeling about festivals sometimes.

Fashion is about comfort and feeling good.

I was a little hesitant at first because there's so many ways you can get 'Straight Outta Compton' wrong. You know, it's such a great story; it's such a classic tale. I was a little nervous 'cause it's like a very narrow road to success with that type of story - you got to get it right - but when I read it, I was pleasantly surprised.

Find the autonomy in your work. Autonomy is key to feeling good about the work you do, no matter what kind of work it is.
