And now that Martina McBride knows of T.I., and T.I. knows of Martina McBride, that made me very happy, too. It's introducing worlds to different people and bringing them together with a song.

It's not that I'm Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes now, but I've got my priorities in order.

I am happy to make money. I want to make more money, make more music, eat Big Macs and drink Budweisers.

I didn't come from a trailer park. I grew up middle class and my dad had money and my mom made my lunch. I got a car when I was sixteen. I'm proud of that.

They believed you can't mix rock, country, and rap, and that crossover is dead. I always knew it would work. And it will always work as long as you're really into it and like what you're doing.

The only thing keeping two people together should be love. Not legalities.

Malice delights to blacken the characters of prominent men.

I've calmed down already. I don't hook up anymore.

I don't remember those early playoff games. Keep it positive. I'm a different player. More focused. I know how important it is to score in the playoffs.
