Quote

I lost my brother when I was 22. He was only 24. I was always the kind of person to live on the edge, but after that, it made me feel like I could really die. It can really happen. Before then, I never thought it could happen to me or my family.

When you're rapping, you do have to perform to a certain degree, but not every rapper is necessarily a gifted actor.

I like Pirate's Booty. Prunes and olives, too. I love hummus. I can eat that until I die. I tend to eat mostly organic food.

So often, you don't get that opportunity. You only go over everything once and, the next thing you know, you're on set.

I would like - either as an actor, or producer or even director - to do something sci-fi or action-related. I like sci-fi, always have, 'Star Trek' and 'Star Wars' and all that stuff.

I definitely think we need to lean more on God. And I do think we need to praise, because we need to give it outward. You know, whenever you think you're in tough circumstances, there's always somebody who's in a worse position than you.

I'm not the type that's going to sit and preach to people if they don't need it just because I've been around the block a few times.

If you try to follow everyone else's mold, you'll probably fail at some point because God created us uniquely for a reason.

I feel strongly that women who look like me should feel great. So I am not changing.

The objectification of females is not a good thing! Not every rapper does this, but when the lyrics focus solely on the strip club, 'poppin' bottles' and how many girls they can 'tap,' it distorts what kids are learning. I think if there was more of a female presence in hip hop we could break up the monotony. It's all about balance.

Beauty is not just a white girl. It's so many different flavors and shades.

I'd say, if you want to be an artist, start with your art start with making great music and it will, hopefully, eventually cut through all of the nonsense that is out there.

I never really took any acting classes. I'm just a natural ham, I guess.

I don’t want to be a supermodel I want to be a role model.

I support many organizations that I feel are doing the right thing, like Alonzo Mourning's foundation, Alicia Keys' foundation, the Make-a-Wish Foundation, and other well-established foundations. I kick out a lot of time and money wherever I can.

To me, I always felt like I was carrying a torch for women of any size to be themselves - it doesn't matter whether you're a size 2 or a 22, just be who you are.
