I don't display emotions. I have every feeling that everyone else has, but I've developed ways to suppress them. Anger is one of my most comfortable feelings.

In Hollywood they say there's no business like show business. In the hood they say there's no business like ho' business.

The greatest fear people have is that of being themselves.

The more my fans know about my past, the more they'll be able to predict and understand some of the moves I make in the future.

The greatest fear people have is that of being themselves. They want to be 50 Cent or someone else. They do what everyone else does even if it doesn’t fit where and who they are. But you get nowhere that way; your energy is weak and no one pays attention to you. You’re running away from the one thing that you own – what makes you different. I lost that fear. And once I felt the power that I had by showing the world I didn’t care about being like other people, I could never go back.

I never had working papers. I never had a job. I sold crack until I got in the music, so this is the best thing that happened to me and I do it excessively.

Get into the music business. This is the business that you have absolutely no requirements. You listen to music, you need no college degree.
