Nas

The flaws, the mistakes I make - that's the real me.

Anybody can be a rapper, but not anybody can be a classical artist.

Once you make it to your point of making it, you'll appreciate the struggle.

I like villains because there's something so attractive about a committed person - they have a plan, an ideology, no matter how twisted. They're motivated.

I hate the bad rap that people give my parents. Because they are just parents, really, at the end of the day trying to stand up for their daughter and themselves.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
