I didn't want to be an artist in the same place I worked. You could always have people that might feel like you would do something more for yourself.

[I do] my manicure/pedicure once a week. When I'm on the road, I use the hotel or whoever I call. But in Miami I have my own person.

I didn't make the same song twice, but I definitely made the sequel to it, because everyone would come up to me in the streets saying, "Yo Khaled, make another 'I'm So Hood.' We love that record so much.

I've know Jeezy before he was Jeezy. I've been down with Cash Money from back in the day. So these are real relationships. I'm there for them and they're there for me. And they know if I'm going to make a record with somebody, I'm gonna hit a home run.

I'm focusing on my family, raising my family, and staying blessed.

Embrace life. You have life. There's a lot things going on out there.

The minute we think we went hard, go harder. We gotta work.
