I'm an avid collector of toys. I got everything. Name it. From the Easy Bake Oven to Barbies to every TV show doll, racing cars... I've been collecting since I was a little kid.

I used to eat, like, a whole Entenmann's cake at one time with a half-gallon of milk.
I love 'Yo Gabba Gabba!' because it's a real kids' show. There hasn't been a real kids' show since 'Dora the Explorer.' It mixes hip-hop with being a kid. Hip-hop came from youths anyway. It's just a great, funky show.
I would never be a sellout, but you can never be a sellout to kids. Kids is kids!
I really want to be the black Mr. Rogers - that's my goal. I would do everything the same but with a hip-hop feel to it.
I'd eat, eat, eat, not exercise, go to sleep, eat and eat. I looked up in the mirror and said I had to make a change if I was going to continue to live.
I just wanted to be different; I didn't wanna sound like anybody else.
I don't care about anything but what I want to do. You can't worry about what else is happening out there. You have to be true to yourself.
When I used to be on stage, I used to be out of breath; I couldn't walk that far. Now, I got so much energy. I can do a whole show.
There's not enough people being daring and different. There are a lot of followers in hip-hop.
I love kids. Every time I go around people neighborhood, they're like, 'Biz! Yo Gabba Gabba!' They want me to beatbox all the time for them.
It only takes me about four days to write an album. It don't take that long. I just gotta have the feeling. If I don't have the feeling, it's a different story. I gotta be in the mood.
I walk. I do the treadmill; I walk around the mall. I do a little crunches with my stomach, not that much. Just enough to get the engine going cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha! Vroooommmmm.
There's certain cakes you've got to have, maybe a pie here and there. But I know to not do it as much.
Usually on 'Yo Gabba Gabba,' we eat healthy and organic. We don't play.
I can sell anything. I'm very convincing.
I could see myself doing a cooking show.
We always honor our people when they die; we've got to honor them while we're still alive.
Usually when I make a record, I know what the potential is going to be, but I didn't know that 'Just A Friend' was going to be that big. 'Just A Friend' opened a world up where I never knew the difference between being a pop star and a regular rap star. It was crazy.
There are still recording artists out there doing things for the right reason, but a lot of people seem to be just driven by fame.
I can be serious, but there's got to be a lighter side.
My thing is whatever comes at me, I'm there. But DJ-ing and music is my passion... I'm going to be unpredictable.
I'm into the old school. I listen to rock, soft rock, jazz, old school R&B.
