The creative process of making a movie really turned me on. I'd started getting behind the scenes with a camcorder and VHS tape when making music videos.

The best thing to do is to write about what you know, and if you write about what you know you can always pull those nice little tidbits that hook people, that shows that you know about this world and can bring people into a world that they may not know nothing about.

The moral is that a career can be gone in an instant. And all you have in this world are the people you love.

Snoop Dog is the Phil Jackson of youth football coaches. He ain't going to accept nothing but a winner.

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.

We used to have MTV and all these ways we can show our videos, and it was these rap shows, and it was everything. And then it became not cool to be conscious; it became cool to just hang out. Escapism rap became the norm. And, when I say "escapism rap", I mean getting high, get your cars, get your money, get your jewelry, go to the club, have your women, and it just became all about escaping your reality and not making your reality better on a real tip; not just on the have fun tip.

Never question the size of Ice Cube's balls!
