I'm always gonna be an actor, so I'm trying to figure out what I'm gonna do next. I would love to make a documentary again someday, but I need to take a break from it.

Right now I'm taking a break from hip-hop documentaries. But I would do it if things lined up.

A Tribe Called Quest music was so inclusive, so conscious, it brought such a community together.

Only a genius can play a fool.

I had a boom box, but I didn't go too far with it because I had a really, really big one. It was like the size of a suitcase, and I was just a little kid.

I don't think the subject of a documentary film should be producers on it.

When I was a kid, my first favorite song was probably Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side."

My freestyling ability is nonexistent. I can't even write a verse if I tried to sit anywhere and write one. Being a good rapper is hard to do. I'm a good Rapaport, but that's about it.

Being a good rapper is hard to do. I'm a good Rapaport, but that's about it.

Call it stubborn, call it ignorant, call it what you want, but I don't think I have to join a particular faith or culture or creed or religion just to fit in.

Positive doesn't mean unflawed: It means human and vulnerable. If you make a film and you're portraying the subject with respect, you're gonna do it in an honest way.

Nothing can compare to the feeling evoked by turning the page in a great book.

I'm obsessed with Nicholas Sparks. I've literally read every single book, because every time I travel, at the airport, I always buy a new Nicholas Sparks book.

If I had a soul I sold it for pretty words If I had a body I used it up spurting my essence Allen Ginsberg warns you dont follow my path to extinction

I'm for each and against none.

Well, when I moved to L.A. at 17, I had just come out of high school. I grew up and went to public school in Boston.

If we're so awful and we're so bad, you ought to check out the nightlife in Leningrad.

The best thing commercially, which is the worst artistically, by and large, is the most successful.

It is very difficult to stop feeling.

I've been offered 'Celebrity Fit Club', where you have to take off your shirt and get on a scale. I got kids, man. I'm not going to humiliate myself. I'd rather drive a cab.

I'm a politician. Politics is just a convenience for our life and we just have to create a beautiful world together that would be very convenient for us and just enjoyable.
