I have a no-die clause in every movie. The black people can't be dying all the time.

I already enjoy cooking. I like different flavors and putting different things together and really like taking normal recipes to a higher level.

I've never been the straight rapper that is going to stand in a cipher and battle all day. I started off battle rapping, but to me, making songs became more important than freestyles... I've met many rappers who can freestyle but can't make a record.

Sometimes when I am in a situation that I have never been in, I kind of pull back a little bit to observe things; it doesn't really last long though I have to. I've resigned to myself to the fact that I have to be me.

So often, you don't get that opportunity. You only go over everything once and, the next thing you know, you're on set.

Life is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think.

It's great to be able to employ people who other people wouldn't consider viable employees.
