You get what you put in and people get what they deserve.
As far as my street cred goes, I'll always have that, because I always hang with the kids. I'll jump right off the stage and buy them a beer. I'll be a star on stage, but I'll always hang with the kids.
Being a father helps me be more responsible... you see more things than you've ever seen.
A lot of people told me that I'm committing musical suicide with my sound.
I collect cars and bikes. One of my most special rides is a black 1930s Cadillac V16, and then I've got a few West Coast choppers.
I am happy to make money. I want to make more money, make more music, eat Big Macs and drink Budweisers.
Whatever your craft is, be a master of it. Being half assed at something, people will eventually see through.
I could care less about what people think. I'm a Devil Without A Cause.

I truly believe that people like myself, who are in a position of entertainers in the limelight, should keep their mouth shut on politics.
And now that Martina McBride knows of T.I., and T.I. knows of Martina McBride, that made me very happy, too. It's introducing worlds to different people and bringing them together with a song.
If I was president of the good old U.S.A., I'd turn the churches into strip clubs and watch the whole world pray.
