I don't want to be an actor or nothing but if I have to, I'll act if it's the right thing.

I was about 11 when my mother brought me this karaoke machine and I was really into it back then, but about 4 or 5 years ago is when I started printing up my own music, going to the studio and doing my own thing.

I just don't want to be rapping forever. I love it, but sometimes you got goals for yourself.

Working with 50 Cent was great, you know what Im saying? It was just great to work with 50 Cent.

I just do what I'm here for and that's to make that music.

I'm the 1st black platinum artist in Detroit, solo artist in Detroit.

The Anger Management Tour was another beautiful thing. I loved that tour.

I don't want to be an actor or nothing but if I have to, I'll act if it's the right thing.

Well, Eminem, you know, I know him longer. Ive been signed to his label since 2001 and he's a good friend.

Yeah I grew up on the Westside of Detroit.

I get the music, I get the beats. And I go to the studios and write the lyrics.

Beef is beef, you know. Beef comes, so Beef is real.

Where's Eminem, when is Em coming out, Em this, Em that, 50 this, 50 that... What about Obie?

I'm working on my new album right now. Hopefully to get that out at the top of 2005, January 2005.

You know, I'm the 1st black solo MC from Detroit. I didn't do the 50 Cent sales but hey... I got a long career, I'm still young and I'm trying to bring really good music.

Let's say I was a plumber, or I worked at a factory, I would download music, you feel what I'm saying?

But working with Dre, I grew up with his music, so I'm still like more a fan.

I want to get off with the screenwriting.

I would say old school cats like Redman and Wu-tang. My style is my style, those are just cats that I liked.

7 Mile is like an Ave. Back in the days it was poppin' in the summer time.

I don't actually sit down and write, but I just have a lot of different ideas about films and making movies.

Downloading songs is not good.

I think it need realness, you should speak on thing that you know about, that you being from, that you experienced or that you been around, you know. I think you need a good hook, good beats and good lyrics.

I'm just going to do me; I'm not trying to do the Eminem thing, the D12 thing or the 50 thing.

Detroit is right now a new Mecca for Hip Hop.

Eminem is more like a friend. And I'm also a fan on Eminem.

But since I am in the music industry, I don't want anyone to download music, not on September 9th.

By Rice's own standards, the war was well underway by the time he took office. He was a war president the moment he took the oath. But did he act like one?

Under current law volunteers who are not working with an official nonprofit organization are not covered by the Volunteer Protection Act. Therefore, there are absolutely no legal protections for the average American who wishes to volunteer.

Commas in The New Yorker fall with the precision of knives in a circus act, outlining the victim.

I still feel that a movie has to attempt to say something - even if it fails miserably. But I've sort of given up on believing that I'm going to change the world with every film I choose to act in.

I knew I wanted to act, and I was really driven, so I kept going for it. We moved to L.A. full-time when I was 8 or 9.

Maybe I can't act, but I know the gimmicks. I studied acting all my life and know what's good for me.

I've done a lot of acting. I'm not saying I'm the greatest, but I'd love to act, I'd love to sing.

P.C. is just too Big Brother - telling me how I should act and feel.

Act well your part, there all the honour lies.

I'm a 7 o'clock act. My people want to go to a show, a dinner and then go home and go to bed.

For me, romance isn't an over-the-top act. It's someone offering to help and to support me. Or if that person thinks I'm making the wrong decision, he'll tell me. I want him to be honest, because being that honest takes a lot of guts.

I want more children but for the next three years I want to act.

I have to say that it's very few countries that are willing to look back at its past and apologize for its act, or make amends for its act, as the United States had one.

I think unleashing 3,000 smart bombs against the city of Baghdad in the first several days of the war... to me, if those were unleashed against the San Francisco Bay Area, I would call that an act of extreme terrorism.

I cannot sing, dance or act; what else would I be but a talk show host.

My kids act all the time and it's exactly what I used to do.

After the magical act accomplished by Joyce with Ulysses, perhaps we are getting away from it.

Presidents quickly realize that while a single act might destroy the world they live in, no one single decision can make life suddenly better or can turn history around for the good.

A marriage is no amusement but a solemn act, and generally a sad one.

I think it's bad to talk about one's present work, for it spoils something at the root of the creative act. It discharges the tension.

I went to my last three years of high school in New Jersey. I just wanted to act, you know?

Having a child is surely the most beautifully irrational act that two people in love can commit.
