Today I live in the suburbs, in a neighborhood [that's not] too bad.

I don't want my kids saying, 'My dad was a gangster, so I need to be a gangster. I would rather mine say, 'My dad was a stunna, so I need to be a stunna.'

Like, Jay Z has some of the sickest lyrics ever, but I would never buy his CD, just because of my age and because of his age. By the time I turn that old, I ain't gonna be doing what he's doing.

When you see them be successful, however small, you say to yourself, wow. And everything becomes possible. Never denigrate, to say we will not succeed.

I know that everybody listens to me, but only my true fans will go and buy my album.

I just put anything on my back. I take what I have on hand.

This is the industry that wants [music], the rap industry. You have to be on deck all the time, but you do not have the time to do the album. It is an energy, it must be present in everyday life.

You must not you worry about leaks or pieces [stolen] on your computer. You just make songs, you gotta make music, keep stuff out. You may not know rap, but that's how it works.

I do not always listen again but if something strikes me, I exploit it.

If you're 30, 40 years old, you're not getting listened to by minors. Like, Jay Z has some of the sickest lyrics ever, but I would never buy his CD, just because of my age and because of his age.

For a long time I heard rap without paying attention, but it is still a way of life, even when you're a kid.

By studying, understanding and do the wills of the book, you renounce your mortal life.

I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I feel my fate in what I cannot fear. I learn by going where I have to go.

My father always used to say that when you die, if you've got five real friends, then you've had a great life.

I'm living life as best I can - but I'm not exempt from failure and making bad choices.

I find what I do for a living really funny. I mean, acting is kind of a hilarious thing for a grown man to call a job.

Each culture has its own characteristic manner of locomotion, sitting, standing, reclining, and gesturing.

Polite diseases make some idiots vain, Which, if unfortunately well, they feign.

There are people who are younger than I who are more uptight than I am. It's not necessarily an age thing. I mean nobody is offering me 20-year old leads any more.

God is like a mirror. The mirror never changes, but everybody who looks at it sees something different.

Like Spain, I am bound to the past.
