Instead of trying to police the entertainment industry we should strongly suggest that parents take a stronger role in what their kids get into.
Censorship is a touchy subject, all the way around.
Restless' was cool. I wish I had more time to put it together.
Black people don't really see ghosts or aliens.
My music is the foundation of everything that I do, and my fans make it possible for me to keep recording.
I wish other people could be happy in what they do. The world would be a better place.
I love the music, I love who I am. So that is the driving force to make everything else work.
You only grow old when you stop playing.
The car culture is part of living in Detroit.
It's impossible to have a personal life when you're constantly travelling.
For me, hip-hop's not about the bling.

My first car I bought for $400 and it was a Subaru and it was shaped like a door wedge and it was confiscated by the police.
I got the U2 iPod.
I have a very good support team and system behind me, and I have people who really understand the vision I have for stepping into the future.
I'm old fashioned. I like the CD.
These people dissing Dr. Dre, they need to get off their cell phones for about a week and come back to reality. They have no idea. Do what he did and then talk to me.

I work with the best.
I'm in a unique position in that my career in music is not over and I have other television things and ventures I can get into. So, it's like I can be very selective when it comes to movie roles.
I'm not feeding my kid off movie roles so it's easy for me to say 'no' to things but it's important for me to have this presence and I know it's easy to stereotype and pigeonhole certain people that come from a certain genre but I can do more than a lot of people expect.
Well, my father was a marine so you know how that is.
Music is my heart.
I would never be a buffoon or an imbecile or a coon. I'm a strong brother that understands what I mean to this society, where I fit in this society, and how I can change this society.
I do things that I feel in my heart. I do things that I feel are right.
What I miss is a time when hip-hop music had integrity; there was some kind of message. Not in all the music, because it's not for that, but there was at least something that got through that had some content that was sensible and positive, not just hooky junk-food rap.
There was a time when I was making a lot of money and moving very fast. I didn't like who I was. I could tell by the company I was keeping.

I definitely have the love for music.
There's so many other things that I can do with my time besides just worry about what the next man is doing, ya feel me?
I don't even know what 'keep it real' means. I mean, where you live doesn't make you real, you know what I'm saying? I take care of my family, my friends and I live in a nice house and whatnot but you never forget where you came from.
I don't have to, like, try to come out with pop music because I feel that that's gonna make me sell a lot more. I mean, I make the music I love to make and that's it.

I just do my thing regardless of whoever I'm with: Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop, whoever.

People need to have the courage to be themselves.
