I love you like a fat kid loves cake.

You shouldn`t throw stones if you live in a glass house and if you got a glass jaw, you should watch yo mouth: cause I`ll break yo face.

A lot of kids join the army to get a college education. That`s why they do it, and they get sent into these horrible situations.

I don`t display emotions. I have every feeling that everyone else has but I`ve developed ways to suppress them. Anger is one of my most comfortable feelings.

I think it`s easier for the general public to embrace me in a negative way. You have people who already have a perception of me that says I`m a bad person.

[on his feuds with many of his fellow rappers, such as Nas, Jadakiss, Fat Joe, Shyne, The Game, Ja Rule, Sheek Louch and Styles P., among others] If they keep comin` at me, I`ll just keep responding back until they don`t exist anymore. I got the time and energy to ruin what is left of their careers, if they want to do that.

A man becomes as attractive as an attractive woman when he becomes successful and is publicly noted. Power`s an aphrodisiac.

[On his feud with bubblegum rapper Ja Rule] Right now he`s desperate. He should be talking about me, not Eminem and [Dr. Dre] and everybody else. He`ll lose, he knows that. The route that he has to take is the "I`m a mad gangsta" hardcore route, and ain`t nobody gonna believe him.

In Hollywood they say there`s no business like show business. In the hood they say there`s no business like ho` business.

The only thing that I`m scared of is not livin` up to the expectations of Dr. Dre and Eminem.

I`m not trying to save the world. As a musician and artist, it just ain`t me.

In my neighborhood if you`re too aggressive, you intimidate someone, they kill you. Or if you decide to be emotional and you start crying, you`re a victim. You know, the kid in the schoolyard that doesn`t want to fight always leaves with a black eye. You have to find a way to stay in the middle, somewhere where people just don`t mess with you because they know that you don`t have a problem with it if it goes there.
