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.

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.

I'm bad for your health, like puttin' a pistol up to your face and blastin' yourself.

I ain't a thug - how much Tupac in you you got?

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 am never going to give music up.

I just took some ecstasy, ain't no tellin' what the side effects could be.
