I got into acting kinda funny. I was in a club with some girl models when Mario Van Peebles walked over to me. He said 'I want you to be in a movie' and I was thinking, 'yeah right, you just wanna get down [with the girls]' The next day, I got a phone call from him and he told me to come and read for a movie called New Jack City.
Yeah, well, you can only lie for so long, you know? And if you get out here and portray being a thug or a gangsta or whatever and you ain�t one, the streets are gonna walk up and touch you. It ain�t the smartest thing in the world to do... you gonna have to live with it.
I never really counted on my records or rap music to really eat. I mean, I never really said, �If I don�t get played on the radio, I�m not gon� live.� I was very smart with my money. I knew how to take my advance budget and if they was givin� me a half a million dollars, I was makin� my record for fifty grand.
