I don't think you should go around talking trash about people because I think that's how you get your hat handed to you.

The mind of a drunken fool is a useless tool.

I feel like my peers now are artists like Madonna and the Stones, Michael Jackson and Prince. These are people who were able to take their careers beyond the normal here-today-gone-tomorrow life span.

I was listening to Jimi Hendrix; I just admire his artistry and creativity as an artist.

I think the guy who has had the better films is Will Smith. I don't know if he's a better actor than me. I don't think so. I am a rapper first. Man, I just love what I do. I am just the greatest and I can't help it. I'm sorry man.

I've never been one to have to manipulate women. I always want it to be like a mutual thing, like everybody loves everybody.

There's a lot of single black women who did the best that they could and that's a beautiful thing, but they don't know how necessary a father is in a kid's life and how much guys miss that deep down inside.
