If you born in the mud, you gonna be dirty, and people don't understand that.

I've been around a lot longer than most rappers stay around. So I don't feel like, I haven't made too many career mistakes.

You learn that Hollywood has its own rules, sometimes. And it's tricky, and sometimes you can't see what's coming around the corner.

I know that there are obstacles; I know that there are hills to climb, I know there were people before me that made my journey easier and there are people behind me that I have made the journey easier for.

Rapping is talking and communicating, and that's always good.

Rap is just somebody getting something off his chest. That's all it is.

A good movie is a movie that you could see over and over again, not a movie that wins a Oscar, or a movie that makes a lot of money. It's a movie that you personally can watch over and over again. That, to me, is a measure of a good movie.
