“My younger son, Cordell, aka Lil Snoop, loves me like a fan loves Snoop Dogg. He’s inspired by making me happy. My older son, Corde, aka Spank, does everything I say, with effort and determination – but he does it for himself. He gets his thrill out of seeing his own results on the football field.”

Push yourself, when you get smart up top (in your head), your skills will fall right into place.

I move with the time. Whatever’s happening in time, I’m in.

It makes me feel the way I need to feel.

You don’t love me, you just love my doggystyle.

I’m not rapping, I’m conversing. It’s just a conversation between me and you.

You’ve got to always go back in time if you want to move forward.

A lot of brands, you can’t touch them. When you’re dealing with Snoop Dogg, he brings you closer to the brand and it feels like it’s a part of you.

There’s no such thing as losing touch. You can take me out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of me.

They say I’m greedy, but I still want more, cause my eyes want to journey.

That’s how we do it in the black community; we give back to the people who made us who we are. We never forget that.

I am a sore loser. I’ve always been like that ever s’nce I started playin’ sports and just life in general. I hate to lose and I play to win.

See, I don’t want brothers shooting. I want them talking.

I stay busy and projects look for me. I aint goin nowhere no time soon and that’s how I continue to evolve. By stayin relevant and makin hits.

What people don’t understand is joining a gang ain’t bad, it’s cool, it’s fine. When you in the hood, joining a gang it’s cool because all your friends are in the gang, all your family’s in the gang. We’re not just killing people every night, we’re just hanging out, having a good time.

Life is about growing and evolving. I feel like my life has been in stages, and the stages I went through when I was younger allowed me to grow into the man I am today.

Reggae is music of love. It has joy and pain, but it feels good.

Trying to determine the structure of a protein by UV spectroscopy was like trying to determine the structure of a piano by listening to the sound it made while being dropped down a flight of stairs.

I don’t give up because I don’t give up. I don’t believe in it.

If your determination is fixed, I do not counsel you to despair. Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance.

Your actions, and your action alone, determines your worth.

No hours, nor amount of labor, nor amount of money would deter me from giving the best that there was in me.

Characters make their own plot. The dimensions of the characters determine the action of the novel.

As states subsist in part by keeping their weaknesses from being known, so is it the quiet of families to have their chancery and their parliament within doors, and to compose and determine all emergent differences there.

Nothing is impossible to a determined woman.
