When you're playing this bad of a character, it's obviously not reality for someone who's not living that life.

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.

If you want to find God, then all you need to do is love.

Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.

Aggression, Violence, Exploitation, Depression, Despair, Prejudice, War, Intolerance, Poverty, Are all a result of a misunderstanding of the nature of Self.

One who seeks to control others is one who suffers from the affliction of fear.

We cannot, of course, disprove God, just as we can't disprove Thor, fairies, leprechauns and the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Our body is the place that our memories and dreams call home for the time being.

Memory isn't the facts, it's just a record you keep to yourself. With the facts, memory is useless.

Don't use your film for ugly purpose.

I like clothes and fashion. It's a hobby for me and I really enjoy being part of it, so it's nice when people say: 'He can dress quite well.
