I think that Hiphop should be a pulpit for the people.

There is not enough high intellect to be catered to and when most people think of Hiphop they think of low intellect.

Nobody thought about having more money than you could ever spend.

I kicked down doors to show that Hiphop has matured. And it may be a little controversial.

I love eggs fried over medium.

People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.

We dominated Survivor - there is no way we would not dominate that, too. I can see it already, us making deals with people. That's the best part, and with the Race, it would be even more fun because I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeve.
