And the Oscar Goes To...

T.I. has plans to win an Oscar and says jail was a waste of time.

From a recent interview with Complex Magazine,
"When I was goin' through it (prison), I really felt like it added insult to injury. The lesson had already been learned. I already understood the errors in my ways and made the adjustments necessary.

"It did make me worse in a sense that, before I went in, I was already on the path of positivity. Putting me in prison took me off that path a little bit, and now I'm working to get back on that path - or at least back on the path to the extent that I was before I went in.

"I'm still not as bad as I was before this incident, but I lost a little bit of my positive focus during that period of incarceration. Being in that environment and having those daily surroundings, it's going to affect you."

and his about his future acting plans

"I want to have an Oscar by then (40). I want to have made my mark in film as a producer and actor by the time I'm Jay's or Eminem's age."
