I don't need the bread, but it's nice to do something creative.

As far as I know, the guys at Pixar are opposed to a Monsters, Inc. sequel.

You can't be Eazy-E and not move a certain way, basically. So, I studied the culture of it, and also, one of my uncles is from L.A., and he's great. He was like my performance coach.
