Mario

Mario: It's my life. I'm not ashamed of what I've come from, the things that I've gone through. As an artist, you're out in public anyway. People find out about things, but they put their own twist on what they think it is. Nobody can tell your story better than you. And I think that there comes a time in every artist's life, especially artists who've been in the game for a long time, when nobody can tell my story better. This is what drives me, the things that I've been through.

Mario: My catalog is sick right now. However, every day there's a new revelation, every day is a new concept. I'm always workin' on different material. I don't think I could ever do enough material.

Mario: When I got into acting, they usually ask you to use your full name, and so I wanted to see my full name up on the screen, during the credits.I decided to do that for the acting, but in a staff meeting with J Records (Mario's record label) it came up that I should use my full name for the new album. They thought it would make the album more personal. I just felt like I had time for that, and decided not to do it.
