Rap music came along and saved my life. I started to tell the stories of the streets and that was my way out.

I'm afraid because some police are way out of control. My true feeling with police is this: If they do their job, there's no problem.

I just don't believe that there's any way that you're ever gonna get one peace, because everybody has different ways of seeing life.

That's basically the gangster code. Just be yourself. Just be you, dog. The easiest way to get your card plucked around a gangster is to be a fake. If we feel like you're trying too hard, if you're trying to act like you're from the street, you're in trouble.

One of the things about powerful people is they have the ability to make it look easy.

So from an actor's perspective, you really have no idea how you're acting.

With acting, you have to take it seriously because the other actors are putting in a lot of effort - and if you say, 'I'm just bullshitting here', it's like dissing 'em.
