“Prison makes you a better judge of character. You pick up on people much faster.”

The best revenge in the world is success.

No person ever gave me nothing but God.

No matter what it is, I think people want the answer they want, they don’t want the truth.

I only know what I heard and what I read. I had no involvement.

There’s no difference in dealing with the music business with the majors than any other competition. The music business is way more cutthroat than any other business.

I don’t care about how many times somebody recognizes my face.

In prison, you get the chance to see who really loves you.

Basically, people are never happy enough because they want more money.

As far as anybody in the rap game ever tryin to assassinate my character, thats impossible. You talkin about a man who has always walked the walk and talked the talk.

I ain’t never preyed on the weak. I ain’t never gone and picked on a guy that I knew I could beat up, even as a kid. People wanna make me seem like I’m [that] type of guy.

If you grow up in the suburbs, you hear of people dying of old age, car wrecks, cancer. In the city, it’s always people dying of violence or stray bullets.

If you wanna cross somebody, then do that. Don’t act like it wasn’t you.

I think the biggest misconception about me probably is … I don’t prey on the weak. I ain’t a bully, but I ain’t no saint, either.

I am in the penitentiary. The only thing that I do is my time.

The music business would be much better, for the youth and the kids, if they start hiring employees that understand the kids.

I’m gonna make sure everybody get their justice. This the year for business, this the year for my book, this the year for the movie and this the year for getting even. I’m on my way.

Wherever you get to is better than where you started. To stay on the road is a massive achievement.

I probably do better not being in politics. They have too much control over you when you are in politics.

One of my goals is to inspire everyone I meet to become a better person.

When you refuse to fight guys because you say you are better than them, that is not really being the best. If I could just fight certain fighters that fit my style, I would look great in all of them.

The music business would be much better, for the youth and the kids, if they start hiring employees that understand the kids.

Perhaps it’s true that I’m very hard on myself, but that’s better than exhibiting mediocre work… too few were satisfactory enough to trouble the public with.

Dressing up is like therapy; I feel better in myself when I’ve made an effort.

When something good comes your way, you better feel fortunate, because it doesn’t last forever.
