“Like you’d feel if you have a cold, so I didn’t really think it was anything.”

All of it has an effect.

It feels good to play a little music / Tears running down my face ’cause I love to do it

I’m not just talking about what you put on a record – even just walking into a store and how you interact with the person behind the checkout counter.

People need to be more aware of how they’re affecting people.

When I was younger, I felt like I could say anything and it was funny.

Some real well thought out stuff. But I don’t know, like, every last detail about Buddhism.

I won’t sell my songs for no TV Ad.

I was always tearing stuff apart to see how it worked.

Like you’d feel if you have a cold, so I didn’t really think it was anything.

I think every person has the ability to affect change…through our every thought our every word, the way that we interact with other people.

I love the flow of the game. There’s a certain fluidity to basketball. I don’t enjoy watching baseball or football in the same way.

If someone had been asked twenty years ago what direction they thought music was going in, they wouldn’t have said sampling.

It’s pretty easy to see that… wealth doesn’t really equal happiness.

Just keep putting out music.

We just play whatever we’re into. For a while there, we weren’t listening to too much rap stuff, ’cause there wasn’t anything interesting.

I’ve started to realize that what I say and do does affect everybody around us.

Wonder, or radical amazement, is a way of going beyond what is given in thing and thought, refusing to take anything for granted, to regard anything as final.

Wait a minute, maybe I can do anything.

And I think you sort of switch on their brain, man, so that makes them say: ‘Wait a minute, maybe I can do anything.’ Whoooooo! It’s life.

I like any reaction I can get with my music. Just anything to get people to think.

I am the Lizard King. I can do anything!

I like any reaction I can get with my music.

Listen, real poetry doesn’t say anything; it just ticks off the possibilities. Opens all doors. You can walk through anyone that suits you.

It’s never really fun to have to cry in a scene or anything like that.
