Get a grip, Oreo, and be true to the game.

Do I gotta go sell me a whole lotta crack for decent shelter and clothes on my back?

I was ready to get out of the box and play something a little different than what everybody has seen.

Even though I have a nice house, nice family, the rest of my generation is still in South Central L.A. My cousins, my brothers, my sisters, they don't wanna move out. They don't want to and they don't have the means to sustain it. That's where my heart is and that's what I think about all the time.

The hardest period for a writer is the period in-between writing. That's when you can go crazy if you don't allow the creative juices to flow.

When I did 'Boyz N The Hood', I never thought how we grew up in South Central was interesting enough for a movie.

Most actors have to sit by the phone and wait for somebody to call them up to audition and stuff. I don't think I can exist in Hollywood just on that. I think I need to be proactive and making sure that things I really want to do are being developed to the point where somebody wants to make them?
