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.

More quotes by Andre Benjamin
With music, you can portray a certain thing, but in film, sometimes you have to let yourself go to a point where that can be attractive to a person, that you're willing to let yourself go that much. It works both ways.
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
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
Nothing lasts forever, so what makes love the exception.
Andre Benjamin
SAD, BUT ONE DAY OUR KIDS WILL HAVE TO VISIT MUSEUMS TO SEE WHAT A LADY LOOKS LIKE.
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
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
Everyone has an addiction, mine happens to be you.
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
I think it's real important to show style now. The majority of style right now is to act like you don't have style at all, so most companies are getting rich off clothes that look torn, clothes that look worn.
Andre Benjamin
I rarely drink, I don't smoke, so my vice is probably creating. I'm addicted to creating. And women.
Andre Benjamin
You download it for free, we get charged back for it. I know you're saying, They won't know, they won't miss it, Besides, I ain't a thief, they won't pay me a visit. So, if I come to your job, take your corn on the cob, And take a couple kernels off it, that would be alright with you?
Andre Benjamin
Sometimes nostalgia is a cage.
Andre Benjamin
I don't freestyle, but when I'm writing and thinking, sometimes things pop up - that's basically a freestyle.
Andre Benjamin
A lot of people think that you easily get roles because you do music. I mean, you could knock on the door faster than anybody, but it doesn't necessarily get you in.
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 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.
Andre Benjamin
I said, 'What you wanna be?' She said, 'Alive.' It made me think for a minute, then looked in her eyes ...I coulda died.
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 just try things. And the things I like, sometimes they work, and sometimes they don't. You can look at pictures where I just look terrible. But the older I get, the more I know what works. It's for the better.
Andre Benjamin
