I think the music comes first, then comes the fashion, and thus, the lifestyle. I believe it starts with music, and then the person delivering it delivers the lifestyle, the fashion. Madonna is a great example of that.

At the end of the day, I don't release any records that I'm not proud to put my name on. I never got to that point.

Hip-hop is such a disposable art form from a business standpoint. It never treats its artists as art; it never treats its product as art.

You can't live off of just greasy fatty foods and stayin' up till six in the mornin' just partyin'. You gotta take care of yourself.

The Chronic represented everything that I hated about hip-hop as a fan, but then later represented everything that I stood for as a musician and engineer.

I love traveling the States no matter what. I love traveling abroad, going to Japan and Australia. I love it. I never get tired of it.

I have a lot of those 'Forrest Gump,' I-was-there moments.
