Clear communication. Respect. A lot of laughter. And a lot of orgasms. That's what makes a marriage work.

I always loved the way music made me feel. I did sports at school and all, but when I got home, it was just music. Everybody in my neighborhood loved music. I could jump the back fence and be in the park where there were ghetto blasters everywhere.

If you work at rap and look at it as an art, the money will come. But if you try to get the money, it'll just always be shallow.

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.

People are always coming up to me, thinking I've got some magic wand that can make them a star and I want to tell them that no one can do that. Making hit records is not that easy. But it took me time to realize that myself.

I've got more class than most.
