I was listening to Jimi Hendrix; I just admire his artistry and creativity as an artist.
There's a lot of single black women who did the best that they could and that's a beautiful thing, but they don't know how necessary a father is in a kid's life and how much guys miss that deep down inside.
I think the guy who has had the better films is Will Smith. I don't know if he's a better actor than me. I don't think so. I am a rapper first. Man, I just love what I do. I am just the greatest and I can't help it. I'm sorry man.
I've got to see my movie to see how I'm acting, see what little things I can learn about my craft.
You don't need to be the good guy to get a good message out.
What I like to do is just make good music, good movies, hopefully perform a good show full of energy and just have some fun.
We're going to raise a lot of money for cancer awareness, give some to the American Cancer Society and hopefully make a big difference.
Timing has a lot to with art.
I've never been one to have to manipulate women. I always want it to be like a mutual thing, like everybody loves everybody.
I'm not just a rapper. I'm an entertainer. That's the difference.
I am what I am, I'm doing very well in my life, and I'm thankful to God for that.
You know when you do 25 or 30 movies and people are still asking you how does it feel making the transition? you know youre not communicating correctly.
Nobody is perfect, but life is about choices.
Friendship, trust, honor, respect, admiration, this whole experience has been such a revelation.
