Being dead broke is the Root of all Evil.

Even before making music I was always someone that you had to get to know, at school or elementary. I walked the hallways. I would take your pizza

I'd never trade my old girl for all the money in the world. I'd never trade my daughter Toya for all the money in the world. I'd never trade my only boy for all the money in the world. I put my last name first!

Every day is a new opportunity to reach that goal.

I played a major role in the spread of crack cocaine, the marketing of crack cocaine, the glamorization of crack cocaine. But it's hard to say that it was totally my fault. My judge in Cincinnati told me, "Mr. Ross, I know that the prosecutor and the media and the DEA all want to blame you for this problem, but I sentenced my first drug dealer the year you were born, so I know you're not the cause. This is a problem we've had since before you were born."

I scoop Emmy winners like kitty litter.

Every boss started as a worker.
