I'm not a big spender. I don't get into all the jewelry and all that.

I believe in reincarnation, and I believe I've lived quite a few lives.

Try to be the king, but the ace is back.

I like working with new artists.

I just make the music feel the way I want it to feel, and I don't put it out until I'm totally happy with it.

I've gotten my personal life all the way intact and made sure that it's straight. Without that, you have no foundation. Your building is going to crumble.

I just want people to hear the music the way it's suppose to sound, the way we meant for them to hear it. You sit in the studio all this time and make the music, tweak it, try to get it perfect. They should be able to hear it that way.

When the ideas are coming, I don't stop until the ideas stop because that train doesn't come along all the time.

It ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em.

The actual making of a record is the most exciting part of this business.

If you know anything about me and my history, you know I'm very particular about my projects.

They wanna hang us, see us dead, or enslave us, keep us trapped in the same place we raised in. Then they wonder why we act so outrageous, run around stressed out and pull out gauges.

When we started Aftermath, we had something like 20 artists, and it was driving me crazy. I couldn't sit down and focus on any of it. Plus, it was doubly hard because you ended up crushing these people's dreams when you had to let them go.

I apologize to the women I've hurt. I deeply regret what I did and know that it has forever impacted all of our lives.

I'm going to record forever.

Every person walking has some kind of talent that they can get on tape.

In L.A., we listen to everything. If it's banging, it's banging -- we don't care where it's from.

Those who are quiet will always cause riots.

I can't see myself ever spending hundreds of thousands on anything that doesn't come with a toilet.

Black women are the strongest most hardworking people on earth.
