"We got our lunch here," he nods to the tent. 'War fries or a chicken corn. We were always here late. Until I heard my mother shout, "Quincy! Quincy! Home!" ,'' he said in an exclusive interview with VI.
"We were bad boys," he laughs.
"We regularly got into mischief. Ring a bell and all run away, things like that."
He also revealed that he was a truant in school.

On his attraction to music, he revealed the instrument he loved playing.
