There's no such thing as losing touch. You can take me out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of me.

Know when to lie to your kids.

Snoop Scorsese, that's my director name.

Nobody cared about the riot until they thought it might spill into their nice neighborhoods. Then they got scared and called the National Guard.

I'm Uncle Snoop. That's the name I've been given in the industry because I'm like an Uncle to all of the rappers whether they are older than me or younger than me and I love giving advice. If I feel like they need some information, I give it to them, I sit them down and talk to them. I try to get all of the rappers on one page of peace, love and just having soul and just being about representing this music.

The best advice I've ever got is to be yourself. Stay true to who you are and what you stand for and you'll go far in life.

My biggest achievement is raising a healthy, happy family. As far as regrets, I don't really have too many. Although I've gone through some things in my life that didn't feel too good while they were happening, they allowed me to mature and develop into the man I am today. Those moments have taught me a lot. I wouldn't be the same person if I hadn't had those experiences.
