My movies work because not many people in Hollywood are like me.

Don't talk about death, I've got too much life to live, To many orders to give.

There's a lot of potential that goes unused in places like South Central L.A., a lot of brilliant, smart people who just don't have that chance to show it.

With comedies, I like to be a producer, because comedies can get corny and go off track real fast.

I never was in the Nation of Islam... I mean, what I call myself is a natural Muslim, 'cause it's just me and God.

I think my fans respect me for bein' as truthful and honest as you can be and still be Rap music and not be opinion music. It's still Rap, its still style, flavor, flair, and people just kind of like how I present myself and the things that I do.

My problem is that I never get through the whole book. I skim through this one, that one, and then the other one.
