You can get away with black sweatpants for a day or two, but pink is something you wear for one day: the day before you go to the washer or cleaners. When people wear pink t-shirts for three straight days, it disturbs me. It aggravates me.

When I first started wearing pink, it wasn't nothing I planned on doing or strategized. But people showed me so much love for the pink mink I wore, I had to go out to Pantone and create my own color, which is called Killa Pink.

I stay dapper.

I won't just give up anything to anybody because they're waving a gun around.

I've never started beef with anybody that didn't start with me first.

You gonna ask me who I compare myself to? Nobody. I don't think nobody can really mess with me as far as flyness or anything that I'm doing.

Certain songs bring me back to certain places I've been in my life. So definitely, I listen to my stuff.

To be honest, the real money is in merchandising and performances.

I'm from the building where the wave was invented. Downstairs, under me. Ask Bigavel. Y'all call him Bigavel, Max B. I know him as Charlie Rambo. I'm from the building where the wave was invented, and it was invented after I was born.

Dipset is Dipset, but it's over.

I love having my son in my life. That's why it's more fathers in the hip-hop community, because they probably went through a fatherless childhood like I did.

I won't talk to the D.C. police.

Seeing Jay Z's just a great example of somebody who comes from a ghetto to rise to where he's at. I think... he done a great job.

I don't care if I am doing music: my son comes with me every weekend. If I'm on the West Coast, he'll come fly and be with me. If I'm on the East Coast, I get my son every weekend. It doesn't matter where I'm at - show, no show, whatever. Break or no break. I have my son every summer and every weekend while he's in school.

People are foolish if they think I'm going to lose my head and give up anything to anyone just because someone threatens me.

That's what I love about the Internet - instead of having to wait on radio to play your song or TV to play your video, I can use the Internet as a tool to get my music out earlier.

If you rocking Steve Madden, we won't go anywhere.

It's hard to find good business partners and people who do good business the right way.

When you constantly working, working, you don't really get to appreciate the fans and people loving your stuff.

You got people that come in, one album, two albums, and they're gone. A lot of people couldn't take the break I took and come back into the game, and people be checking for them.

It doesn't matter where I'm at - if I'm somewhere sitting still for more than an hour, rhymes start popping in my head... It's just kinda instilled in me.

I'm looking into making toilet paper. It's not an option unless you a bum and gotta use newspaper. It's not an option. Like, it's an option if you wanna drive a car. It's an option if you wanna use a straw. It's an option if you wanna wear a pair of Nikes or Reeboks.

I work with any producer that brings me a hot beat, but you don't always know if it's a sample.

You always gotta take advantage when you can spend time with your kids.

I'm the gorgeous gangster.

I listen to 'Purple Haze' a lot. If I'm in the gym, I listen to that album the whole way through sometimes.

To be honest, sometimes I get in my shell, and I don't want to do stuff, and sometimes I'm real active.

If somebody says or does something to me first, then I'll respond, and I go overboard with it, and it seems like I'm the one that has beef with somebody.

Maybe I beef with people, but it was never random. Anybody you name, I could give you the reason why it happened or whatever led to the beef.

I'm Mr. Romance.

You want to stay grounded, but you need to keep the music growing.

Music is always gonna change; it's just a matter of keeping up with the times.

Basically, I want to prove to everybody that I can write music - good music.

I roll with the punches.
