Purple lipstick? Naw, that looks stupid on all girls!

New York gave me hell for that 'Purple Swag,' man. They didn't respect me until 'Peso.'

I want to inspire people to really open up their minds and not be one-sided or biased or hypocritical.

So for me, fashion was about standing out as an individual - and it helped me get the attention that most people try to get with publicity stunts or by doing other crazy things. But I just let the attention come to me naturally, and I think some of that has to do with my fashion.

[I want to be] Something that really touched you - and as far as image and change goes, I just really want a lot of people to respect my music and treat me... [as] inspiration.

I would not consider myself to be a quote unquote real New York rapper. I don't even like New York rappers.

I don't have any favourite lyrics. Honestly, all of them I love 'em to death - it's the same with songs. I don't have just one favourite lyric, I love them all.
