More quotes by Chuck D

Chuck D
Don't anoint me when you can anoint yourself.
Chuck D
I wanna go to the clubs and actually have a good time too, but at the same time, when the party's over, I have to go back to the real world and try to figure out who I am.
Chuck D
My advice to young people is ask older people questions and don't be afraid.
Chuck D

Chuck D
I'm a multi-tasker. I was down with that stuff before they invented the term.
Chuck D
I'm recording freely, and if I make a song, I release it immediately, so I'm more likely to believe in one song at a time as opposed to albums.
Chuck D
The best medicine for pain sometimes is some kind of logic and common sense from older folks. They tell you, Okay, you're not the only one who actually went through this.
Chuck D
Minds are the real estate of the 21st century.
