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.

Something smells fishy and they say it's you, all I know is that you made it with the whole damn crew.

Conquering the world with words, leading the children like herds.

Do what you love; you'll be better at it. It sounds pretty simple, but you'd be surprised how many people don't get this one right away.

The people who go get an LL album want to hear LL. They don't want to hear LL trying to sound like DMX or whoever else is out there. That's not what they want to hear from me, because if they want to hear that they can go get the real thing.

You don't need to be the good guy to get a good message out.

I think when you move past your fear and you go after your dreams wholeheartedly, you become free.
