I wanna sit behind the scenes and see nothin' but the greens.

So to make those checks better, I used to steal lollipops and sell them at school - but I got caught.

No matter where you from, there's ghettos all over the place.

People know when you're frontin'.

I'm in between homes right now, but my last house was dope.

Yeah I'm telling real stories, but if you pick up a documentary on strippers, you're going to want to see some stripping, so we definitely got that in there.

I'm a rapper trying to be an actor.

I don't think any gay dude is gangsta, period.

It's been so long since I was in a real fight.

Now we just showin' and provin' that there's a ghetto everywhere you go.

We just wanna see where we stand at right now with our fans.

One girl who stands out was this Miami stripper. She still lives with her mother and father, and they know she strips. They call her by her stripper name, Freaky Red.

How many gangsters you know, from Al Capone up to John Gotti, been gay?

Somebody wrote a script around us, but Dustin Abraham came with the best one.

I'm a peaceful dude.

I wanna sit behind the scenes and see nothin' but the greens.

Regardless of how me or this man right here or anybody else in this business get, when we walk on an airplane in first-class looking like this, we're gonna get searched.

I have 15,000 comics in a warehouse, all bagged individually.

I'd have a sex scene with Whoopi Goldberg or Star Jones.

Yeah, the next Wu album should be out by late '95.

There's probably a bunch of Power Stripe floating through the Def Jam offices right now.

Rap is a gimmick, but I'm for the hip-hop, the culture.

The most I've smoked in a day was over an ounce, in Germany.

We smoked a lot of cloves.

I want to do a documentary about strippers, 'cause it's a moneymaker.

After a while, you can't get any higher. It's like your head is in a wind tunnel - everything is vibrating.

When the ball dropped in 1999, I was holding dough and champagne in my hands and holding my kids.

I hate mean people. People who just pick at you and try to force you into a train wreck.

I'm an entertainer, so in whatever form I entertain... The thing about being a rapper is that you have more control over your form, whereas with acting you have to compromise a lot.

I'm serious; I don't, I don't rap. I flow; I'm a flow-er. You've got rappers, you got MCs, and then you got flow-ers, I'm a flow-er.

I think a nice romantic dinner should be saved for when you and the girl you're dating or seeing have something special and it's a more special occasion.

For who can bear to feel himself forgotten?

Soaring prescription drug costs have placed a tremendous strain on family budgets. They have also imposed a heavy burden on employers - both public and private - who are struggling to provide affordable health insurance coverage to their workers.

Probably people always feel that they are living in a time of transition, but we can hardly be mistaken perhaps in thinking that this is an era of particularly momentous change, rapid and proceeding at an ever quickening rate.

It's a lot easier to act when the writing is good. Nothing is more frustrating than trying to figure out 'Well, why did I say this next?'

I started trying to do my own music at home, and I was like, 'You know what, I can play the guitar, sort of. And I can do these things, sort of. And I can make these crazy noises on my computer, sort of. But I need a ridiculously good drummer. I need someone to help me with string arrangements.'

I have such a big mouth.

I didn't feel the Depression at all. I always had a pocketful of money.

I respect faith, but doubt is what gives you an education.

I bring people on stage with me. It's a good time, and people love to join in on the party. Show me a smile, and I'll show you one back.

It's like going into the Senate. You know, the first time you get there, you're all excited, "My God, how did I ever get here?" Then, about six months later, you say, "How the hell did the rest of them get here?"

Like beautiful homes, cute babies, or noble careers helping others, books can make us feel like we mean something positive, and in gratitude, we truly love them.

If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse.

I am joy.

To live in infinite bliss practice mindfulness and live in the moment.

In Los Angeles, I feel like the ugly duckling, like I'm from Venus or something.

I'm not a hard-line Republican, because I'm a lot more open-minded than that.

The more flesh you show, the higher up the ladder you go.

If you find yourself under lethal attack dont be kind. Be harsh. Be tough. Be ruthless.
