I'm most passionate about, you know, making everybody understand that we should all have equal access on this earth.

Some artists are told what to like and told definitions of what the music business is. That's a problem. Music is artistry, and you want your music heard, your act known. But artists don't know. They are ignorant the minute they sign a contract.

I think governments are the cancer of civilization.

Never try to make the same record twice, even when people are screaming for the same sound.

Right is right, and wrong is wrong, and when people start getting it confused, that means they need to sit down with some real people.

People are so confused about race and hip-hop that people didn't even consider the Beastie Boys one of the greatest rap groups of all time because they were white.

I'm not a firm believer of "mo' money mo' problems" - I think that's stupid. I think it's that problems are already there that can be exacerbated by more things you don't understand.
