More quotes by 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.

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 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
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
As a rapper, I don't freestyle. I used to freestyle when I used to get drunk, and it didn't matter.
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
Hip-hop don't have no fresh energy, none at all. It's money driven, everybody tryin' to make that cheque, nobody putting art in their albums any more.
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 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'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
Askin what happened to the feelin that her and me had, I pray so much about it, need some knee pads.
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 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
People see you on screen and they like you, but they never really get a chance to meet you. When you're doing music, you know you have to go sit at in-stores, and you're actually in the street, so there's more of a hands-on kind of thing.
Andre Benjamin
I rarely drink, I don't smoke, so my vice is probably creating. I'm addicted to creating. And women.
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
If models are made for modeling, thick girls are made for cuddling.
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
Everybody's got opinions on the way you're livin', But see, they can't fill your shoes.
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.
