The Ferrari Monza; that’s one of the most beautiful designed cars ever made in my opinion.

We were on our way to a music video in Queens. Pusha T and Jay Z were both involved. It was called Darkest Before Dawn. We were rushing to get onto set and unfortunately I got pulled over for speeding.

You’re taking a five hour trip from New York to Boston in your autonomous vehicle in the future. What’s in your ‘living room on wheels?’

I guess I’d have my laptop. I can’t go anywhere without my laptop. And probably some music, and a steering wheel for the ability to drive a car inside of a car!

Tell us something about you that would surprise your friends and family

That’s a tough one! I’m very appreciative of life, I guess I don’t give that off too much. But I do really appreciate life and being good around good people that are smart and passionate about doing something big
