“At the time me and X met, we weren’t homeless, but we were basically homeless.”

A lot of us have energy that we can tap into. We sell ourselves short.

I have ‘Very Rare’ tatted on my face.

There’s really nobody who taught me how to dress.

I have a song called ‘Young Voorhees,’ because I like to call myself the new Jason Voorhees, and it samples ‘Courage the Cowardly Dog.’

I’m gonna keep Very Rare as a street brand. I wanna make a new clothing brand and group. It’s gonna be more… high fashion.

You have to be strong for people when you don’t wanna be strong. You have to be clean-showered, clean, clean-cut for people. You have to set an example.

I hate anything that seems like something that has been done.

Timbaland is my favorite producer.

I want to make people have fun again and show people that people can just rap and snap.

I don’t like being categorized as a rapper. I make music; I don’t just rap.

I used to really like Method Man and Redman for some reason. And Fabolous. A lot of New York rappers, too. Cam’ron. Jim Jones. Hurricane Chris.

I don’t want to ever be categorized. I want to be able to hit every genre.

I want to make theme-setting music, music that sets a theme without being cliche.

Every time before I go on stage, I’m nervous.

One thing that I do want to say is Drake, as an artist, anybody has to respect him. He’s in the game, and he’s been in the game – he has longevity, even if he doesn’t write or writes his music.

If you see somebody dressing like me, you know they’re purposely trying to dress like me because I dress like nothing.

When we cannot cure or save a life, our patients can at least feel cared for. It should be a basic human right.

The common people don’t believe this kind of religion [of islamic fundamentalists] because first and foremost they want to solve their basic problems, including human rights and economic.

Bill Gates did predict that computers for people made sense because he wrote a basic.

When I make a photograph I want it to be an altogether new object, complete and self-contained, whose basic condition is order (unlike the world of events and actions whose permanent condition is change and disorder).

When it comes to educating all of us about the most basic things in life, it seems to me we need more kindergartens and fewer graduate schools.

I’m blessed with a good pair of ears. That’s how I fooled my piano teacher. I’d watch his fingers and I’d listen to it, and I just kind of basically learned it by myself.

It would be nice to feel that we are a better world, a world of more compassion and a world of more humanity, and to believe in the basic goodness of man.

I just have more fun when I get to try new things – and the action film genre has kind of painted itself into a corner, copied itself so many times and it has basically run out of bad buys.
