What's the best advice anyone has ever given you?

Do the best that you can.

What celebrity do you most identify with?

Ruben Studdard. He's lovable. People compare him to a bear, and I love bears.

What's your favorite guilty pleasure?

Chocolate. Reese’s peanut butter cups. I used to eat packs of them a day. I've slowed down now.

Bush, Kerry or someone else?

Clinton. He's different. He's not fake. He's real.

How do you want to be remembered?

By my attitude and personality. I have various personalities. It changes depending on who the person is. I'm straight to the point.

What's your theme song?

Lil' Scrapp, "Get Crunk."

What does "crunk" mean?

Get hyped. Get up.

Who has been your greatest influence?

Spank (Store manager Wydella Crawford). She taught me how not to let things get to me and keep my head up.

[Spank, where did that name come from?

They say I was fat and bad when I was small, like Spanky from the Little Rascals.]

What misconceptions might people have about you?

That I'm quiet and mean. And that's not true. I'm outgoing. Loud. I talk too much.

What one thing would you change about yourself?

Nothing at all. I like who I am.
