Occupation: Rapper/actor/producer.
Birthday: Sept. 25, 1968.
Birthplace: Philadelphia.
Current home: Burbank, Calif.
Marital status: Engaged to Sharee Zampino.
Working on: ”Fresh Prince of Bel Air,” on NBC-TV, and touring with DJ Jazzy Jeff.
The last good movie I saw was: ”The Five Heartbeats.”
I stay home to watch: Nothing, because once you get into the television mentality, it`s hard to get out of it. It happens to TV writers. I`ll want to do something, and they say, ”You can`t do that on TV.” I say, ”Why?” They say, ”Because nobody`s ever done it.” They wouldn`t know that if they didn`t watch TV.
The book I`ve been reading is: ”Before the Mayflower: A History of Black America,” by Lerone Bennett.
Nickname: It used to be Fresh Prince, but since I`ve made it famous, it isn`t anymore.
Favorite performers: Michael Jackson, James Brown 25 years ago, and I`d love to see Julius Erving play ball again.
Prized possession: My Jeep Cherokee. I`ve had a lot of custom work done on it, and it`s a real space-age machine.
I`m better than anyone else when it comes to: Any kind of relationship. When it comes to people, I have a special blending power.
I hope I never have to: Kiss Roseanne.
The worst part of my job is: Turning a bad script into a good script.
The one thing I can`t stand is: People who have problems and won`t talk about it.
People who knew me in high school thought I was: A jackass. I was silly all the time. Now I get paid for it.
My most irrational act: Everything about my life is irrational. I always wanted the pinnacle of everything immediately and would never settle for less. If I`ve learned one thing in life, it`s: Good begets good; evil begets evil.
When people first meet me, they think I`m: Funny and down-to-earth.
Three words that best describe me: Tall, dark, handsome.
The one-word title of my autobiography: ”Antidisestablishmentarianism.”
