I've basically got an album full of singles.

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.

I don't use composers. I research music the way I research the photographs or the facts in my scripts.

The presidency is not an office job.

I saw a documentary on the Naadam festival that happens in Mongolia during the summer. One of the features of it is a horse race across the plains that all the young men enter - some as young as 12 years old. It's such a spectacular sight. It's incredible to think that this is a tradition that has been going on for centuries.

It sounds a bit sad, but my new hobby is knitting. I love it. I find it really relaxing.

As I've gotten older, I've found that I'm not afraid anymore to throw my influences into making a record.

I don't even read the newspaper; I don't read that crap.

Republicans should simply focus on first principles and give the American people what they want - an honest party dedicated to common sense, fiscal responsibility and limited government. If we govern to save the country, we'll do well as a party.

If you hear a statistic, you will make up a story to go with it, because our brains are organized on narrative. And you may very well make up a wrong story because you only have one fact, which is a statistic.

I enjoy the medium of film, and I think I understand it well, and I like working with directors, so yeah, I think I'll stick with this.

I love those preliminary conversations about who a character is. You try on wigs, shoes, and clothes. It's preferable when it's not about looking pretty. It can get a little dull to just be cute.

A lot of what a composer does has to do with storytelling, and there are different ways of fusing music with picture to express different storytelling ideas.

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose.

Do not start a new job or business on Friday the 13th it will be followed by collapse or bankrupt.

I certainly like working harder than a lot of my peers. The trick is embracing it.

I'm an advocate for gay marriage. I have more gay friends than Carter has pills.

I like the idea of being caught between things, always being a bit of an outsider, having an outside eye on things - almost like a Shakespearean fool.

It has been said that Delhi is not a city but a collection of villages... There were Tamil villages and Gujarati and Kannadiga and over everything like a blanket like a blankety blanket a vast and spirited Punjabi joy in living that kept the city together and made it one made it as much as was possible a city.

Online I see people committing 'social media suicide' all the time by one of two ways. Firstly by responding to all criticism, meaning you're never going to find time to complete important milestones of your own, and by responding to things that don't warrant a response. This lends more credibility by driving traffic.

Hamas is a little more than an enemy of the United States. Hamas, of course, is a terrorist organization - listed by Europeans as a terrorist organization.

I'm pleased the committee recommended no action, as I know I did nothing wrong.
