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

There's nothing wrong with starting off in a box, but you got to have a plan to come out that box.

I think [director] Malcolm Lee is a real master at being able to make you laugh while bringing serious subject-matter, so the movie doesn't hinge on silliness, but on real life.

Success really comes down to the product, not to me, my personality, or what club I'm seen going into or coming out of. None of that matters. What's important is whether or not people feel like they wasted their time or money when they pay for a movie or a CD.

The best thing I've done with my money is buy a house for my family. You wake up to a house you love and you feel like somebody.

Rap is always evolving. It's easy for the old school to hate the new school, but it's a music that got a little stifled I think, by the Internet a little bit.
