It definitely feels good to have those machines behind me. I wasn't getting any radio play, even though I had the streets on lock.

Anything that looks good makes you feel better.

I think I got a lot of life skills; I got a lot of wisdom; I've seen a lot of bad things happen to a lot of good people.

I guess now music is so saturated and so microwaved. It's, like, 15 minutes in the microwave and boom, you've got something. Nobody's putting passion or any thought behind it anymore.

Since it has been such a roller coaster, this moment definitely feels really good. It doesn't get much better than helping your team win a big game. I'm going to savor it for a long time.

Knowing that it feels good after that is definitely a positive sign.
