Before I came out, I had a lot of anger. For years people would ask, 'How are you doing?' and I'd say, 'Good, fine.' It's show business, and that's what you have to show.

Ask yourself whether you are happy, and you cease to be so.

I don't think ultimately presidents are judged by crowd sizes at their inauguration. I think they're judged by their accomplishments.

I'd love to play in, like, a 'Lord of the Rings,' or something like that, or a James Bond or, you know, just something like with action, shooting.

This world of the imagination is fancy-free and violently opposed to common sense.

Rappers can't sleep, need sleepin', B.I.G. keep creepin', Bullets heat-seekin', Casualties need treatin', Dumb rappers need teachin'.
