It's great to have a place of my own, but I still see my family often, as we are very close.

My folks still live in my childhood home, and so when I'm home with them, I usually feel the best.

I love my family and I miss them very much but I'm a new person now. I know a lot of people will not agree with what I've done, but it was right for me.

All of my family is so close. We're always over at each other's houses.

We've never been your typical family. We've moved a lot.

I don't like to be away from my family for long periods.

I've covered a lot of ground geographically and emotionally and for years I lost my connection with my family. But the best comfort you can have, whether you are on the phone or sitting there in the living room with them, is with your parents, and to me family has always meant protection. When you smile you get a smile back, unconditionally.

Even though I have a nice house, nice family, the rest of my generation is still in South Central L.A. My cousins, my brothers, my sisters, they don't wanna move out. They don't want to and they don't have the means to sustain it. That's where my heart is and that's what I think about all the time.

Everyone feels like family and I am back in the city that I love.

My family background has always been very supportive. They're going to be there for me no matter what.
