“Lamb is such a beautiful thing.”

I take pride in my sports knowledge. I take pride in everything I do. It’s part of me.

I come from a musical family as well as a culinary family.

My TV stays on ESPN all day long, I’m one of those. I don’t even listen to music in the car, all I listen to is sports talk.

As far as rap, I was more of a Mobb Deep guy rather than a Tribe guy.

I love to cook a meal for the so-called holidays. You always need the turkey. I like making a good BBQ brisket as well.

Billy Joel is an incredible musician. He just feels like one of the guys, you know. I grew up listening to his music.

It’s an accompaniment to life. It’s not something that I do to rap; I smoke when I open my eyes…I don’t know any other feeling.

I’ll always be into sports. Sports is part of my life forever.

I would say I started rapping because my friends were doin it.

I like every girl. Every kind of girl that there is, I like.

All I believe in is food and myself.

Working in kitchens with Mexicans you always listen to the Spanish channel and that’s what I use. Whenever I cook I think of Spanish music, so I always have to listen to some sort of salsa. It gets your body going.

Linguine linguistics that left my verbal essence saucy, Send a message, leave you sleepin’ next to headless horsey.

My new shorty got a gymnastic back, ’87 emerald green on a classic Jag. She had the cleft palate, I ordered chef’s salad; She had the club foot, with that little arm, I couldn’t help but laugh…she ordered Chicken Parm.

I just do whatever I do, and put it out there without tryin to cater to anybody. If you like it, you like it.

I pick and choose my battles, but I overthink everything because I have to think about everything.

Wolves which batten upon lambs, lambs consumed by wolves, the strong who immolate the weak, the weak victims of the strong.

The Silence of the Lambs’ is my favourite book, favourite film.

My soul grazes like a lamb on the beauty of an indrawn tide.

From better access to American markets for our beef and lamb farmers, to cutting tariffs on dairy products like cheese, which are up to 17 per cent, there are significant opportunities for UK farming.

When you are new at sheep-raising and your ewe has a lamb, your impulse is to stay there and help it nurse and see to it and all. After a while, you know that the best thing you can do is walk out of the barn.

With luck, a writer capable of producing both Slouching Towards Kalamazoo and The Blood of the Lamb will not remain unappreciated for long.

Peace is a very complicated concept. When the lion gobbles up the lamb and wipes his lips, then there’s peace. Well, I ain’t for that peace at all.

Democracy is four wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
