At the end of the day, I wanna be a great...a legend. I've been working hard.

I used to take culinary arts at Job Corps so I'm a certified chef. I could cook chicken alfredo.

Everybody wants to make better music.

I don't even go on the computer. Don't anybody around me get on the computer.

Private schools have been attacking public schools and really I was just a pawn in their game. I speak at schools of all ages on a regular basis.

Anybody can make hood music or club records, that's not hard. But can you make music that touch people's souls. That's what I was out to do.

I'd take about 40 thousand CDs, and then take about three full vans of people to hit every hood, every mall, and every club. Just hit one city to the next.

If you are greeted then return the greetings more warmly. If you are favored, then repay the obligation manifold; but he who takes the initiative will always excel in merit.

There is no human failure greater than to launch a profoundly important endeavour and then leave it half done.

Purity of speech, of the mind, of the senses, and of a compassionate heart are needed by one who desires to rise to the divine platform.

I have to admit, I do loooove eggnog.

Birds buildbut not I build; no, but strain, Time's eunuch, and not breed one work that wakes. Mine,O thou lord of life, send my roots rain.

I think sometimes when children grow up, their parents grow up. Mine grew up with me. We coexist. I don't try to change them anymore, and I don't think they try to change me. We agree to disagree.

I do enjoy a beer. And a shot of vodka with some apple juice is what loosens me up before I go onstage, because I get really nervous. I wish I could say it was something more healthy, like Pilates.

Revenge is the raging fire that consumes the arsonist.

The fastest way to succeed is to double your rate of failure.

If you see a good fight, get in it.
