I sell bikinis. I sell comforters. I sell Cam'ron pillows. I sell a bunch of things off my likeness, and it all came from music, so it's definitely a blessing.

I didn't want to be a rapper full time. You know, Big L kinda - God bless the dead - influenced me to do that.

I'm just a Harlem dude that can rap, and people dig my style and persona.

I loved Muggsy Bogues when he was in the league.

You can't be going through life expecting everything. You gotta have discipline.

I went to Manhattan Center High School.

I grew up in New York City: Harlem, New York. I played ball for probably two of the biggest amateur basketball organizations in the city.

Jay Z and Nas is probably my favorite rap beef because Nas was kinda quiet for a while.

I wear pink whether the public sees it or not. Whether I had a sneaker or not, I'd still be wearing pink.

There was a time when only athletes had sneakers. Entertainers having sneakers, on any level, is a blessing.

It just feels good when I give people sneakers.

I wanted to stand out and look different. It wasn't nothing that was done purposely, or I was going to be the guy who wears pink forever. It was something for me to stand out.

Where I come from, once word gets out that you've cooperated with the police, that only makes you a bigger target of criminal violence. That is a dark reality in so many neighborhoods like mine across America. I'm not saying its right, but it's reality.

I'm a fashion icon.

I think I'm the best at everything that I do. I may be biased because it's me. But if you ask me that, that's what I'm going to tell you.

What people have to realize is this: You have rappers who are popular or whatever for the time being, but that don't mean you necessarily want to dress like them. You may have a guy who sells five million records; do you want to dress like him? When you see me, you think you may want to dress like that guy because that guy is fly.

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.

The movies that I've done in the past, everybody's been like, 'Cam always gets away in a movie playing Cam.' So, like, I'm trying to step outside the box a little bit just to show my range in acting.

I stay dapper.

You like me, or you hate me. There's really no in between.

If you don't stay up with technology, you're gonna fall out of the loop and not make any money.

They treat my stuff like wine. It just gets better with time.

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

They've got a great tool in the Internet. If you've really got a good movement, you can see who likes you.

When I do a song, it is more or less for the radio because I've got to do it - that's what I have got to do to win - I always go home and write two street songs.

All-Star Weekend always treats me great. I love the atmosphere that comes with it.

You know what's dope about social media, the Internet, and stuff in general? It's that you never really realized before how much love you get, and now you can see people around the country wearing your stuff or wearing your face.

I don't mess with Mase no more, because me, personally, I just go by a different standard than people.

I never dissed Mase.

Me, I don't really have time to do nothing with Mase.
