I think enslavement has evolved to what may seem appropriate to this day's generation. Modern enslavement is imprisonment.

The danger in having modern music tied to a period piece is that hearing something may take you out of the moment.

For some reason, I think that I'm not doing enough work. People are like, 'You're on a series right now,' but I'm always like, 'Yeah, but I can do more!'

I think the knowledge of where you come from gives you more of an affinity for understanding different cultures and learning.

I think that my humble beginnings were very deliberate, and I'm grateful for them because I'm not sure I would see my achievements the same way if they were handed to me. I'm not sure my work ethic would be the same.

A lot of people are afraid of the idea of enslavement, and that's because it's tied to so much shame and guilt... That is the big elephant in the room, but a part of why we're afraid to attack that subject matter is because of the way we've been taught about it.
