With the mega-fame came the mega-downfall - you know, with the press and everything - and at a young age, it was very stressful to me.

I don't harp on what I could change about the past, because I can't go back and change it. But definitely a lot of things I would change.

Show me a smile, and I'll show you one back.

Rap is from the streets and I'm from the streets. That's why a lot of people accept me.

I'm a random guy. I shake a hand and make a friend. I don't do egotistical things.

My main thing is music it's what I do.

One thing I didn't understand in life was that I had $100,000,000 in the bank and I couldn't buy happiness. I had everything: mansions, yachts, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, but I was depressed. I didn't know where I fitted in. But then I found family and friends and I learned the value of life.

Listen, if you don't talk big game, you never get anywhere. If you don't think big, you don't get big. Some people call it egotistical, some people call it high hopes, some people call it confidence. It's all in how you want to dissect it.

When 'Ice Ice Baby' was selling a million records a day, I bought several properties: a home next to Michael J. Fox in L.A., a palace in Miami and a mountain cabin in Utah. Then, a few years later, I took a break from touring, saw that my properties had cobwebs, so I sold them, and - to my surprise - I made a huge profit!

Concerts every night, autograph signings, endorsements, and so on. That's not what real life is about.

I've never met anybody in this world like me.

I just kept it real and had the freedom to do what I want. It's not designed for any age group. It's not made for radio. There are no edits. The whole album contains explicit lyrics but that's because you need it.

My breakdancing crew used to go to the mall and squat a piece of cardboard there we had our jam box, and I'd spin on my head and make about forty bucks a day, which was pretty good back then. I was only 14 years old, so I would chase the girls around the mall and eat some pizza and have some change left over.

I will not say anything about my father. Period. I don't have a dad.

I've been playing concerts for many years, and it's still as exciting as it was the first time. I hope that shows when I'm performing.

To the extreme I rock a mike like a vandal.

Another car is not going to help me out, a nicer car, I've already got it. A bigger house ain't gonna do anything for me, and you know, a yacht, it's not going to do anything for me anymore. So how can I find happiness?
