That's one of the good things about music. You get to do it live, where you can touch the people and interact with them.
— LL Cool J
I'm not trying to keep up or adapt. I'm allowing myself to grow, evolve and create new music.
I've got to see my movie to see how I'm acting, see what little things I can learn about my craft.
I am a real person that cares about his art and cares about what he's doing - I have a heart and a soul and want to touch people and give.
I only do what comes from the heart.
Our world is at the crossroads. We have a choice, right and wrong.
People will feel the way they feel.
I try to do the right thing with money. Save a dollar here and there, clip some coupons. Buy ten gold chains instead of 20. Four summer homes instead of eight.
Dreams don't have deadlines. I'm thinking of doing bigger and better things and having more fun with it.
I was listening to Jimi Hendrix; I just admire his artistry and creativity as an artist.
I am what I am, I'm doing very well in my life, and I'm thankful to God for that.
As a black man, my hope is that I can touch more and more people all over the world of different races and different colours.
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.
Sometimes altering your position is the right thing. Sometimes it's not.
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.
I think when you move past your fear and you go after your dreams wholeheartedly, you become free.
I'm not just a rapper. I'm an entertainer. That's the difference.
I just look at the high and bright side of things.
I'm good at what I do, but I wouldn't be so bold and arrogant as to say something disrespectful about, say, Eminem. He's talented and he's good at what he does.
I don't think you should go around talking trash about people because I think that's how you get your hat handed to you.
You have to always continue to strive no matter how hard things get, no matter how troubled you feel. No matter how tough things get, no matter how many times you lose, you keep trying to win.
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.
Do what you love; you'll be better at it. It sounds pretty simple, but you'd be surprised how many people don't get this one right away.
