Quote

Embrace what makes up you. Some stereotypes are true - I love chicken, but that's a stereotype, I love f**king basketball, but that's a stereotype, too. But who cares? Embrace it. Be who you are, and don't be ashamed of what that is.

Can't step from one movie set to the next. Only Samuel L. Jackson can do that. All us mere mortals can't do that!

I've been around a lot longer than most rappers stay around. So I don't feel like, I haven't made too many career mistakes.

I hear about people getting shot all the time. But most of the guys you hear about getting shot pulled through.

Nowadays, you can be yourself. You don't have to put on façade. You can be who you are and still be just as successful as the ones who put on the fake façade. You know, it's like reality is just as important as fiction.
