I have memories of being on the farm with my grandfather.

Usually when you hear about rappers in Asia, they always try to be like gangsters and stuff like that and I don't get it.

I was once a struggling artist, so I just want to help others, and provide my resources and connections and the people I know.

Back then we were young, we would just mash all forms of music together and come up with something.

You know, some things you can't change, but you can start from the youth to change the future.

I think anyone that's running for office really should focus on the education for our youth, creating more jobs and employment, and really focusing on our next generation.

There's a lot of kids just like me growing up in the Philippines, so I don't want them to give up. So listen to your parents, work hard and you can achieve so much.

If we go to a party, I'll just be chilling in the corner, absorbing everything.

In break-dancing, you create your own style.

Some teachers used to worry and ask me, 'What are you going to be when you grow up?'

I never met my father. He left before I was born.

When you have an education, you can make anything happen.

My being in America and being adopted from the Philippines have given me motivation and drive as an artist.

I have introduced Filipino culture to the world.

I like to cook chicken adobo and do my own laundry.

I'm fascinated by the Philippines because I'm from here. I was born here. I'm a Filipino.

I'm comfortable not using my vision.

I doubted myself for a long time.

When I dance, I picture myself and the floor in my head.

Until I discovered hip-hop, I felt I wasn't going to accomplish anything.

Back in Sapangbato in Angeles City, my mom signed me up on this foundation called Pearl S. Buck where they support Fil-Am kids left during the time when U.S. soldiers where at the Clark Air Base.

The Black Eyed Peas is a family.

It is important for me to help others because I was also helped by others before I became part of the Black Eyed Peas.

I was born blind in Sapangbato in Angeles City.
