Lesson one, introduce yourself to everyone when you walk into a room. Don't act like you're too bougie to say, 'Hello.'

You can be sexy, but respect yourself and make sure you get that respect.

The people at my label are always endorsing what I say. They say, 'You see the truth, so speak it.' They believe in me. They respect my opinion. At least I have an opinion, and I'm not trying to play it safe. I don't go around saying, 'I think everyone is great, and the world is fantastic.' Everyone has opinions. They just don't say it.

People want to say something negative before they say something good.

I trained myself, whenever I walk into auditions, to hate everyone in the room.

This is Red Barber speaking. Let me say hello to you all.
