When I'm lovin' these hoes, there ain't no love involved.

My mother got pregnant with me at the age of fifteen. This was '64, and unheard of at that time.

It ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em.

It's entertaining to watch somebody break my music down or explain what he thinks I was thinking during the process of making these records. Because... he has no idea.

I can take a three-year-old and make a hit record with him.

You got to realise that when I was 20 years old, I had a house, a Mercedes, a Corvette and a million dollars in the bank before I could buy alcohol legally.

It's always been difficult to make a good record. To be perfectly honest with you, it's really about the person that's pushing the buttons. No matter what type of equipment you have, you still have to have a certain talent to be able to make a good record.
