I think a lot of African-American kids don't have fathers to teach them how to dress, so you end up being taught by pictures in magazine and movies. You see cowboys, Indians, old Hollywood films, Cary Grant. It has an effect on you.

More quotes by Andre Benjamin
If you look at old football pictures, the jerseys were hanging, the sleeves were dangling, but now everything is tucked and tailored.
Andre Benjamin
Your white tee, well to me, looks like a nightgown Make your mama proud, take that thing two sizes down.
Andre Benjamin
I'm a thinker I think too much. So for me to freestyle rap, it's like I'm thinking three, four time steps ahead, and I hate it.
Andre Benjamin
It's harder to be a success, globally, and be artistic. Harder to have that balance than just to be artistic when nobody understands you.
Andre Benjamin
When I'm shooting a film, I don't look at playback. I don't go and do a scene and then hurry up and watch what I just did. I never look at it so I haven't seen any of it.
Andre Benjamin
I had six silly tattoos done when I was young and I bitterly regret them. I've thought about laser surgery, but that leaves a scar, so I'm just leaving them.
Andre Benjamin
I'm a vegan, but I like to look good, too.

Australia is about as far away as you can get. I like that.
Andre Benjamin
To be honest, I don't necessarily think you have to be an actor to act. You don't have to be a musician to make great music. If it comes along and you put your all into it, the outcome is what's important.
Andre Benjamin
It's funny, I don't even consider myself a rapper, I don't consider myself a designer, or even an actor. I just like creating stuff and trying to make good work, whatever it is. I don't care if it's designing toothbrushes. It's just making cool stuff to leave behind, that's all it is, it's nothing more.
Andre Benjamin
I don't mind opinions, because you like something or you don't like something, but to say things about your personal life? I'm like, Man, let me quit reading this. 'Cause I'll stab everybody.
Andre Benjamin
As a rapper, I don't freestyle. I used to freestyle when I used to get drunk, and it didn't matter.
Andre Benjamin
The rap game has to save itself. Everybody's saving it. People like Lil Wayne is saving it. He's bringing energy to it.
Andre Benjamin
I live by the beat like you live check to check. If you don't move your feet then I don't eat, So we like neck to neck.
Andre Benjamin
But I am a lover of all kinds of art. And I just can't stick to one thing. I guess I could if I made myself, but I'd always be looking the other way, for other things.
Andre Benjamin
If models are made for modeling, thick girls are made for cuddling.
Andre Benjamin
I met a gypsy and she hipped me to some life game, To stimulate, then activate the left and right brain. Said, 'Baby boy, you only funky as your last cut. You focus on the past, your ass'll be a has-what.' That's one to live by, or either that's one to die to.
Andre Benjamin
As a rapper, your verses are like a window in to who you are.
Andre Benjamin
I'm a fan of making things that I've seen but couldn't purchase, or things I bought that didn't fit the way I like.
Andre Benjamin
Sometimes nostalgia is a cage.
