I was rapping at eight.

Family is always first.

Real men change diapers!

I am a hopeless romantic and so is my wife.

I am a hopeless romantic, and so is my wife.

My Vocation is my Vacation. I love what I do.

You can't love music without loving the Beatles.

To me, a forever love is a bond that can't be broken.

Right now, I'm as single as a slice of American cheese.

Art is supposed to spark conversation and make people think.

Clearly, everybody knows I can rap; I can freestyle all day.

I think my kids give mommy more attention than they give me.

Saturday morning, you knew what was cool by what was on 'Soul Train.'

Trying to save a hater is like trying to teach astrophysics to a wino!

Don't worry about my life, worry about why you're worried about my life!

Me personally, I wouldn't put my kids on television. But to each his own.

Just speak yourself into existence. Whatever you want, speak it. You can see it.

I always say that candy is the perfect studio food - it keeps your energy going.

I was 16 years old, driving to LA, and sleeping in my car, just trying to make it happen.

I'm so into playing different characters, even when I was on Nickelodeon. I just observe.

I was actually raised around a lot of children. So, I'm very comfortable around children.

I always try to be optimistic, but not to the point where I'm getting on people's nerves.

I want to be there for my children. You want to make sure you're alive more than anything.

I'm definitely light-spirited, but I just felt like my music had to have a little more depth.

If I have a talent, it's already been exploited! I've shown everything I can do to the public.

People have always said I have an old soul, and all my best friends are 10 to 15 years my senior.

The people who truly love me and loved me before all of this stuff. You can't ever leave them behind.

I take my spoken-word stuff extremely seriously because I feel like that's true writing, true lyricism.

I'm not geeky but I have my geeky, corky moments, and then I've got some aspects of cool in me, I guess.

A lot of people don't know the first time I was ever on national television I was a 'Soul Train' dancer.

To be compared to Will Smith is probably one of the coolest things because that's who I came up admiring.

I'm a musician. I play instruments. I dabble in the hip-hop field. That doesn't take vocal ability necessarily.

I am not worthy to be on a Mariah Carey record. She's a true artist, so I just step back and watch the genius occur.

I think one of the most important things in a relationship is caring for your significant other through good times and bad.

I love 'Wild 'N Out' so much - one, because it's my baby, but also I get to see others succeed and go on to lead their own careers.

People think that as a celebrity, you have to have this sort of mystique about you, but I'm probably the realest person you'll ever meet.

I'd love to do a film with Mariah. But it would have to be a comedy. She's the funniest woman in the world, she just cracks me up all the time.

When you don't have those types of things, fashion and all that stuff, it helps you find yourself because you don't have those things to rely on.

So my father was a person who never lied to me. If I had a question, he answered it. I knew a lot of things at a young age because I was intrigued.

My father...made us shop at Goodwill. I found things to wear and got Best Dressed (in the yearbook) two years in a row. I had lemons, so I made lemonade.

The beautiful thing about acting is that you can just dive into the character, strip yourself of everything, and just get in there and perfect your craft.

I've never been able to sky-dive, and I've always wanted to. I've probably done everything else, but for some reason the insurance company won't let me do it.

Oh yeah, the preacher's kid has to be the baddest one. If everyone is smoking weed, we've got to smoke crack. If you're throwing rocks, we've got to throw bigger rocks

In the hip-hop community, it's about how real are you, or how strong can you be, and really my music just reflects me. If you can accept me, then you can accept my music

This is my chance to get out there and appease the fans of my music as well as show people that I do do standup comedy because a lot of people don't know that's where I started.

If you want to be in the automotive business, you go to Detroit, and you figure it out. If you want to be in entertainment, go to where it's at. Go to Hollywood, go to New York.

There's so many people that follow the trend, and then it gets to a point where it gets a little stale. So, in music; I mean, whoever's the new trendsetter, that's who people follow.

Having children obviously changes your priorities, but when you start to see life through these innocent eyes and seeing everything for the first time, you appreciate the small things.

We are already expected to be the goodie two shoes. I went through that during my junior high schools where I wasn't allowed to watch television. I wasn't allowed to listen to the radio.
