Name one book that you consider a must read for all adults. —Patty Allen, Washington D.C.
The Bible. There is a way of thinking and compassion that I get out of it—a way of thinking that is not here right now. It's something I travel with and keep on my nightstand. I am not an overly religious person, though, just spiritual.
Who would you endorse for president? —Siafa Chauke, Johannesburg, South Africa
I haven't endorsed anybody yet. My focus, ever since the last election, is to really endorse the young people of America. There's a chance I might endorse one of those candidates, but right now my focus is making sure that we deliver them to the polls.
How did you feel when it came out that Paris Hilton—who had helped you in the Vote or Die Campaign—did not actually vote in the 2004 election? —Taylor Warren, Greenville, S.C.
I wasn't really surprised, because it takes steps. Her taking the time to be involved and put on the t-shirt was a step. That t-shirt will go down as one of the biggest political statements in history. If we don't vote this year, we are going to keep on dying. Some people have ideas like let's stay there for a hundred years, but sometimes you got to take another approach and be diplomatic.
Of all the artists you've collaborated with, whom have you enjoyed working with the most? —Elizabeth Tredinnick, Towson, Md.
Probably Biggie Smalls and Mary J. Blige. The records we were making were so different and fresh.
