“I don’t remember saying nothing about me crossing over. I did R&B collaborations but I never tried to do no pop stuff.”

I get physical, mystical, very artistical… Giving party people something funky to listen to.

Keep food in the fridge, so it don’t go stale. When there is nothing left to eat, I bite my nails.

Your parents were always trying to get you to be careful when you were a kid, and that’s all pervasive in this society.

It’s hard making a woman your wife when you’ve been humpin married women for most of your life

Plenty poisoned minds of the people are ours. Slaves, from mental death.

I relieve rappers just like Tylenol

Control what I hold and of course be the boss of myself, no-one else will bring my wealth.

So put a quarter in your ass Cuz ya played ya’self

There’s no time for conversation dear, moan is all I want to hear.

If you are what you eat then feed me dope.

Save your wack rhymes, hold your female. Pass the Old Gold, trash the ale. Cash your food stamps, get the WIC out the mail. Love to eat shrimps, but I never eat snail,

Take a stand and command to demand what’s grand.

I guess you’re not gonna be happy til’ it’s for real. Four year old kids, doing drive-bys on Big Wheels.

Eat a whole fish except for the tail. Keep food in the fridge so it don’t get stale, And when there’s nothing to eat…I bite my nails.

I take them 8 to 80, dumb, crippled, and crazy. Crisp and clean with no caffeine, and a pair of spandex or either tight jeans.

There are desires that we all want to achieve, but remember respect is most greatest to receive.

I believe [the architecture firm] Herzog and de Meuron and our collaboration made the product the best it could be.

He is fearless and the way he comes to the music is like we share the same passion for what we do and with somebody from the West. In my opinion that would be a great collaboration.

The future of cinema and communications is all about collaboration and the decentralized control of storytelling.

Basically, I enter into it knowing we are collaborators.

The most abundant resources that we possess amongst the 1.5 million nonprofits in the United States are passion and knowledge, yet our most scarce resource is collaboration.

Filmmaking is such a collaborative piece of art that you can’t look to one person – you couldn’t look to me, you couldn’t say, ‘Because Vin’s in it, it’s this or that.’ It’s really all of us coming together for that period of time to try and make magic.

I always want another actor to shine in my scene because it makes the film stronger. I would encourage people to scene steal, because filmmaking is a collaborative effort.

Success takes communication, collaboration and, sometimes, failure.
