I've always had a passion for rap, and I might not be the greatest rapper, but I'm better than half of them out there.

I'm business savvy and my will is only to win. I can't hit rock bottom any lower. It's only up from here. The weight is off the shoulders with that.

I have over 150 or 200 records recorded. We have so many EP's and LP's. It's just picking the best records to put the best possible album together.

We've still got half of the world that don't know what I look like.

I love all kinds of music. Everybody knows that Nas is my favorite lyricist in the universe. I'd love to collaborate with him on something.

[People] don't know the talent and I want to show them.

[Big Pun] loved the fact that I could sing, everybody around us were rappers. A lot of people didn't know that Pun really, really loved r&b music.

Did the record [Danger] do well? I believe it did what it should have. It showed the hip hop community that Tony Sunshine is doing well and looking great.

Now I'm making a comeback into the industry. Everyone is receiving me with open arms.

Being gone for so long and coming back into the game, I'm the type of person to reinvent myself pretty often and I can adapt to pretty much whatever genre is popping at the moment.

Fortunately for me I'm a vocalist, I can sing forever. I'm not going to be pretty forever, but I'm going to sing forever!

For happy are the merciful for they shall, too, know mercy.

Acting allows me the freedom to let go, to be in the moment, to be spontaneous. I no longer have the fear of losing, of failure.

I came to New York to be a fine artist - that was my ambition.

Don't make me out to be an artist. I am an engineer. I am after the facts, only the facts.

You have to be honest, have integrity, be able to cooperate and get along with other people. Sigma Chi is a great place to learn that and that's why it's a great thing to join this fraternity.

The limiting surface of one thing is the beginning of another.

Last year I was a judge for a prize in England, the T.S. Eliot Prize, so I read everything that was published in England last year.

Free enterprise has done more to reduce poverty than all the government programs dreamed up by Democrats.

Ignore the received wisdom of any industry you’re entering. Never be trapped by dogma. Never let other people’s opinions drown out your own inner voice.

Buy less, choose well: that's the maxim. Quality not quantity. That's the most environmentally friendly thing you can do.
