I never let any of my sons beat me at videogames.

Acting is all about timing. I mean, who has better timing than the MCs?

I was hungry a coupla' times but for the most part I ate every day... I got to go to school for free.

But when I really look back on my life, being really honest about it and now that I've got the chance to travel the world, seeing how a lot of little kids grow up - my life wasn't so bad.

I wasn't driving down the wrong side of the street, smoking marijuana, waving my gun out the window.

I've basically got an album full of singles.

People treat me nice 'cos I treat them nice.

I just think it's my responsibility as a human being and an entertainer to see the soldiers.

I never let any of my sons beat me at videogames.

I came to Baku the same way I would go to Texas - because they asked me to come and play hip hop.

Because I'm a young black man driving a really nice, expensive car, I sometimes get harassed when I'm rolling through a ghetto neighbourhood.

I finished the movie a month ago in downtown Los Angeles. I had a lot of fun doing it.

I perform for soldiers because they are important,'

If it wasn't for the military I probably would not have ever come to Bosnia for vacation.

I've been rapping since 1979.

I'm innocent. I've done nothing. I'm a nice guy.

We take pride in what we do.

'Gangsta rap' is a derogatory label.

'Shaka' is my catchphrase. Emeril got 'bam,' I got 'Shaka.'

I don't consider myself a gangsta rapper. But I'm probably more qualified to be a gangsta rapper than people who call themselves that. I've been through that life.

I have seven children. Even if you got a lot of money, feeding 5, 6, 7, 8 mouths, it will do some damage to your pocket.

I know I'm just one man trying to do one thing, and the next day is not promised to any man. I'm very humble.

I love cartoons. I'm just a big kid.

I perform for soldiers because they are important.

I started cooking from watching my mom. My mother was a really, really great cook.

I think anybody can cook if they take the time.

I'm never doing a new album. I'll probably do nothing but singles. I'm as good as anybody out there lyrically and conceptually and can go toe to toe with the best of them throughout history. But I don't know how much longer I'll be doing it. It's not really fun anymore.

Life is too short to not have fun; we are only here for a short time compared to the sun and the moon and all that.

Gangsta rap is a derogatory label.

Judaism has always been a strong interest of mine. My two sons speak Hebrew and are familiar with the scriptures and with rabbinic literature. This is the way we live.

I don't make my own schedule - it's constructed around my sons' school schedules.

Let's say there are 500 sons and daughters like you in each state. Then we could control the government.

In many ways we are all sons and daughters of ancient Greece.

A king, realizing his incompetence, can either delegate or abdicate his duties. A father can do neither. If only sons could see the paradox, they would understand the dilemma.

The next day I was in my school's production of All My Sons. This was the performance where I realized something was happening between me and the audience that I hadn't recognized before.

Our most bitter enemies are our own kith and kin. Kings have no brothers, no sons, no mother!

Any sane person would have left long ago. But I cannot. I have my sons.

I started listening to music when I wrote when I had three sons at home.

Many of America's and New York's sons and daughters are around the world fighting for the freedoms that the Statue of Liberty stands for.

A Country is not a mere territory; the particular territory is only its foundation. The Country is the idea which rises upon that foundation; it is the sentiment of love, the sense of fellowship which binds together all the sons of that territory.

I want to be here for a long time, so I am going to do everything I have to do to be here. And I want to walk my daughter down the aisle and give her away to somebody some day. I want to make sure I am still here to make sure my two young sons become men.

The Jewish people asked nothing of its sons except not to be denied. The world is grateful to every great man when he brings it something; only the paternal home thanks the son who brings nothing but himself.

Love, it has been said, flows downward. The love of parents for their children has always been far more powerful than that of children for their parents; and who among the sons of men ever loved God with a thousandth part of the love which God has manifested to us?

I'm concerned about the insidious influence of the media's bad messages that undermine the lessons parents try to instill in their sons and daughters.

To the families of special needs children all across this country I have a message for you: for years you have sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters, and I pledge to you that if we're elected, you will have a friend, an advocate, in The White House.

To my three sons, Peter, Scott, and Alexander who pulled me from the 18th Century and back into the present on a regular basis and therefore made me a better person, thank you. And to my wife, who sits at the table there. Who is right about almost everything.

Mothers all want their sons to grow up to be president, but they don't want them to become politicians in the process.

Like any other people, like fathers, mothers, sons and daughters in every land, when the issue of peace or war has been put squarely to the American people, they have registered for peace.

I had achieved the most important things in my life when I married Joan and had the sons. Given the choice between Joan and the boys, and being a writer, I world give up being a writer without a blink.
