When 'Ice Ice Baby' was selling a million records a day, I bought several properties: a home next to Michael J. Fox in L.A., a palace in Miami and a mountain cabin in Utah. Then, a few years later, I took a break from touring, saw that my properties had cobwebs, so I sold them, and - to my surprise - I made a huge profit!

I will not say anything about my father. Period. I don't have a dad.

I don't have any reason to hate anybody; I believe in good karma and spreading good energy.

Learn from my mistakes and you don't have to make them yourself.

Anything less than the best is a felony.

For three years between 16 and 19 I was the opening-act-for-the-opening-act-for-the-opening-act, you know? And then I was on tour with Ice-T, Stetsasonic, EPMD, Sir Mix-a-Lot--legends--and went on to sell 160 million records. It still baffles me.

With the mega-fame came the mega-downfall - you know, with the press and everything - and at a young age, it was very stressful to me.
