When I do things with people it's not with the hopes of them coming back because that would be a selfish reason for me to do anything.

Be true to yourself and as long as you can look back and be happy with what you've done stay that way.

I'm just the type of person that realizes that someone is always going to have something to say so I could care less about it.

Things happen and you live and you learn.

There are other jobs I do besides rap. I was considering going back to school so there have been a few things on my plate that I thought about doing during my time off.

I'm at a point where I let my mind go with flow of the music I'm making and it's not interrupted by me trying to please everybody.

Rap is purging itself from the things it didn't need and it's allowing the younger dudes to come up. With that being said you're always going to need people from that golden era.

You're always going to need those folks that introduce certain things to the next generation and I fit in that sense.

Life ain't complicated unless you complicate it.

Be mindful of everything going on around you and always be on point but don't be so on point that you lose that ability to be what it was that got you out there.

I could look in everyone's faces and see them reflecting on how much time has passed and all the things we went through.

In a beautiful night, under the stars, man always feels himself above the sky, beside the God!

You must first have a lot of patience to learn to have patience.

I'm not attempting to be a role model but I accept that roles I've played put me in that position. I don't feel a huge responsibility as an actress to put my young fan base first.

I'm one of the best actresses. One day I will win an Oscar.

I listed to Tchaikovsky. He is both kitsch and profound. I love that lack of "Good taste."

The splendors that belong unto the fame of earth are but a wind, that in the same direction lasts not long.

Destroy the Museums. Crack syntax. Sabotage the adjective. Leave nothing but the verb.

Live life to it's fullest, love wastefully, and be all we can be.

If Al Gore loses his brazen attempt to win on the dimples, one reason will be that he finally convinced enough Republicans to fight like Democrats.

Tomorrow night is nothing but one long sleepless wrestle with yesterday's omissions and regrets.
