God's word is for everyone.

Mase was never a filthy artist.

Nobody gets as many chances as I got.

I don't pursue women - they pursue me.

I want the ladies to respect themselves.

All great artists have some spiritual backing.

I was always a hard working basketball player.

What I have is a personal relationship with God.

It takes a great person to walk away from money.

I like J. Cole when he's not taking shots at me.

I only gave back the devil the stuff I got serving him.

I think to put someone in a box is somewhat narrow-minded.

I'm not the kind of person to put all my eggs in one basket.

Rap has always been about using your talents for doing more.

I like to be around people that's not afraid to be different.

Money is not of the devil. It depends on who's controlling it.

Once I get to a certain level, I don't want to rap all my life.

I'm the only artist who got paid by Puff, like really, really, paid.

I see different artists making clothing lines and people respected it.

There are a lot of styles out there and, basically, people make a choice.

Once God puts something in your heart - you know, God talks to everyone different.

We gonna teach the ladies they can still respect themselves and still be beautiful.

I just didn't want a musical side of me being prosperous but I'm dying on the inside.

There is a way you can make incredible music without following the so-called formula.

Puff always does great collaborations, it's just you need that flair to make it work.

I love Kanye, I love what he does musically, I love his ability to push the envelope.

Let me tell you something: being broke ain't going to make nobody come to the Gospel.

Somebody sold millions of record before. I want to do something that hasn't been done.

With me, I always try to give my all to my hood, put my hood on my skin, man. I love it.

I would say 'Harlem World' is a cult and at the end we're gonna have everybody believin'.

Why is it Christians are more confident in the Devil taking me more than Christ keeping me.

I don't do the Mohawk thing. I thought about it and said, 'Nah. I'm too cute for the Mohawk.'

Before I got signed to Bad Boy, I grew up listening to Snoop and Tupac and my hood was all Tupac driven.

I think a lot of rappers limit themselves by doing the gangster movies and that's stereotypical for a rapper.

I know God touched my heart to lead the youth back to Him. A lot of people can do it, but He chose me to do it.

I just always said I'm going to work my hardest and whatever God has meant is going to happen when God lets it.

A lot of people have money, but they don't have peace with it. They can't sleep. They need bodyguards every day.

I just want everybody to have fun. When I came into rap, that was my whole inspiration. That's what rap used to be about.

I don't want to be a rap star. I want you to see me and just say, 'That's Mase,' not 'That's Puff Daddy and Mase,' you know.

I could only do music if I could do it the way I could do it. That's what be making me stop, I don't wanna do music in the box.

Atlanta has always been my favorite place to go, even when I was 'in the world.' When I came down here, people used to show me a lot of love.

I don't get into record beef. That's the wackest beef. That's not even a beef; that's entertainment. Might as well be a wrestler or something.

I used to be real cocky about what I do but then I realized it's not me, all of this is really God's gift and whenever He want to, He can take it away.

You can't do gospel and rap. Either you're of the gospel music, or you're a rapper. You can't put the two together. You can, but is it right? It's questionable.

I'm not with G-Unit for protection. I chose G-Unit because I felt like that's the place where the people would be more supportive of a person that is considered a rebel.

I wanted a fulfilling life, what every person wants. And then I just made a decision to leave music to venture out and go after what it is I always wanted, and that was total life prosperity.

I'm not just a rapper; I'm an intelligent young man. But being able to give my mother everything she's ever wanted, I could care less about being famous or the money; that's my dream. That's all that matters to me.

I look at Puff Daddy as somebody that gave me a chance to prove the whole world wrong. Cause when I used to think about rap, everybody would say, 'Well, you talk too slow,' or, 'You rap too slow,' when in reality, that was my uniqueness.

That's the one thing you never judge, another man's spiritual walk. I wish more people knew that, because when you begin to talk about a person spiritually, you invite all types of bad things to happen to you. That's the worst thing you could do, because when you do that you're actually saying that you don't respect anything that's of substance.
