It just gets old when you hear a million raps about how many ways I could shoot you.

I'm trying to go to places where people wouldn't normally, to try to get some new fans.

When I get home and turn on the radio, I hear songs that are new to me, but to everybody else they're old. I try to keep the music fresh in my head.

I couldn't make every song about Texas because it wouldn't be new; it wouldn't be a breath of fresh air.

What's life if you're not enjoying it?

I'll step in an airport just now, and people will recognize me. I'm in Harlem on 144th and whatever, and people are coming up to me like, "What's up, Chamillionaire?" And seeing it grow is, nothing turning into something, that feeling is a really good feeling.

There are certain fans who want me to rap about the same exact thing, but it's time to grow up.
