I'm my own label.

I love Trader Joe's.

I love video editing.

I mean, I'm no superhero.

I like staying in the hood.

I want to help AIDS patients.

I do not seem like a funny guy.

For me, I'm a super private person.

Not every entertainer's living lavish.

'Rise Up' is very necessary. Point blank.

I think we could really play the Olympics.

I've always sort of listened to news radio.

I'm always ready to venture into new music.

Life is just a moment of time and it pass by

I wouldn't know what to do with a big house.

It's a cold world, better pack your own heat.

Those who preach in rap, don't make no money.

If there's a heaven, I can't find the stairway

I chop 'em into salad and my name ain't Caesar.

I was married to a state of mind and I divorced it

A lot of our earlier material was freestyle tunes.

Everything I do has been a lifetime in the making.

I'm not lookin' to go platinum or triple platinum.

Our career wasn't built on putting out hot singles.

My whole thing is I want to be able to help people.

I smacked her, cracked her, put her in a full nelson.

I grew up in the neighborhood where 'Rocky' came from.

I definitely enjoy performing on stage with The Roots.

Male groupies gettin' shaky when I come from the rear.

I want to help people with pain and stomach disorders.

I love video games. Me and Meth are video game addicts.

For me, the arts has always been sort of my saving grace.

I strive for improvement. want to be a master of my craft.

I'm not driven by the spotlight and I'm not that outgoing.

Switchin' speeds like Bruce Lee ridin' up Fuji in a movie.

I was always self-sufficient even when I was with Def Jam.

The Roots want to dip our toes into everything in the arts.

The Roots brand is like the Lipton of hip-hop, so to speak.

I'm a simple man with very simple tastes and low standards.

Just think: what if you could just, just blink yourself away?

The first rhymes I wrote, I was 9. It was Kool Moe Dee-style.

I like to say hip-hop was born when I was in my mother's womb.

I'm tryin' to get some acting credibility, get some other work.

I'm just tryin' to do get-on-the-road music so I can go on tour.

The Roots are well-respected and considered vanguards in the music.

We've always been a band that intentionally transcended race and age.

My father took me to buy fireworks, and now I'm doing it for my kids.

We usually overrecord. Then we boil it down to the cream of the cream.

I'm down to work with anyone as long as it's an organic collaboration.

I definitely want to help the youth, people who can't afford medicine.
