I wanna cover more ground, get a bigger fan base.

The first album was 99 percent hard core to show you I was the best rhymer in the world.

I wanna cover more ground, get a bigger fan base.

I'm pretty sure people thought I was like a dope rapper.

Let me do five of those, and then some slower ones for those kids that can't understand what I'm sayin.

I don't want to be considered 'the Latino rapper.'

I'm mostly concentrating now on continuing to make history in Hip-Hop, making everybody proud of me, I'm not just a rapper now, I'm in history now.

I grew up in a family of Republicans. And when I was 18 and registering to vote, my mom's only instruction was 'You just go in and pull the big Republican lever.' That's my welcome to adulthood. She's like, 'No, don't even read it. Just pull the Republican lever.

The day I decided I didn't want to be a 19th-Century European curator, I knew I would never have the experience of people coming and going 'ooh' and 'aah,' the way they do around the Monets. It just doesn't happen.

I had no interest in cinema until I was 24 years old. My friends had posters of their favourite stars in their houses, but I was far from a film buff - very detached from films.

Generally for red carpet, I love to relax first. I love to work out. I love to eat well, drink tons of water beforehand, so on the night of the red carpet I feel good and ready to go. I also love to get a good body scrub.

Girls are the best readers in the world. Reading is really a way of kind of escaping so deeply into yourself and pursuing your own thoughts within the construct of a story.

I don't want to intimidate people. There's nothing bullyish about me, you know. If there's anybody who's anti-bully, it's me.

Don't worry about all of the steps. Begin.

As an actor, you're never busy enough.

I wonder anybody does anything at Oxford but dream and remember, the place is so beautiful. One almost expects the people to sing instead of speaking. It is all like an opera.

First, if you love the Kindle and it works for you, it isn't problematic, and you should ignore all my criticisms and read the way you want to read.

Intelligent people should learn from their experiences. With people on the street, the bad experience has beaten them.

I only record songs that touch me in some way, ones that I can relate to.

I auditioned equally for film and theater. The difference is that theater has seasons, while film, it's always happening.

I definitely like to stay active. I'm a huge fan of the NBA and the sport of basketball. I love to play pick-up games in Brooklyn where I live.

Comments that suggest that Muslims should be banned from the United States are offensive and unconstitutional.

I think of filmmaking as a form of communication. Maybe its also an art but thats for somebody else to decide.

I wasn't happy at the career I was at and wanted to try something else, and so I tried fighting, and it's working out pretty well. I set my own schedule; I have my own training facilities. I'm not traveling as much, and I'm at home every night.

At Harvard I majored in chemistry with a strong inclination toward math.

A future at Wal-Mart may sound a less-than-stellar prospect, but it's a whole lot better than no future at all.

If you could see or feel the suffering you wouldn't think twice. Give back life. Don't eat meat.

I've never cared for the character I generally played in films.

The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.

In every shoot, between the actor and the director there is manipulation. I'm not saying that negatively. It's healthy.

The future of how the networks and studios deal with Netflix and Hulu and Amazon Prime Instant Video is certainly going to determine their future.
