I think that politics could be a positive thing. My beef is that people focus on the personal aspect of a politician too much. They should focus on the results.

Hip-hop's always reached out to kids. If you look at the last 10 big albums it might seem ironic. But when I look at the history of this music it's always had a lot of positivity.

I think I'm the best, of course. How could I not?

The person that made me want to make movies, and the reason I do films, is Bruce Lee. He was an incredible actor, and he had a lot of charisma. Handsome, action, you know, everything was there. I loved Bruce Lee.

I'm good at what I do, but I wouldn't be so bold and arrogant as to say something disrespectful about, say, Eminem. He's talented and he's good at what he does.

I don't wanna abandon my identity as LL Cool J, but at the same time, I had to figure out how to let people know that I'm really serious about making these movies.

To know the rules of the game, you have to be educated.

Timing has a lot to with art.

I think when you move past your fear and you go after your dreams wholeheartedly, you become free.

I try to do the right thing with money. Save a dollar here and there, clip some coupons. Buy ten gold chains instead of 20. Four summer homes instead of eight.

We're going to raise a lot of money for cancer awareness, give some to the American Cancer Society and hopefully make a big difference.

Sometimes altering your position is the right thing. Sometimes it's not.

What I like to do is just make good music, good movies, hopefully perform a good show full of energy and just have some fun.

I only do what comes from the heart.

As a black man, my hope is that I can touch more and more people all over the world of different races and different colours.

I am a real person that cares about his art and cares about what he's doing - I have a heart and a soul and want to touch people and give.

I've got to see my movie to see how I'm acting, see what little things I can learn about my craft.

I was listening to Jimi Hendrix; I just admire his artistry and creativity as an artist.

I'm not just a rapper. I'm an entertainer. That's the difference.

That's one of the good things about music. You get to do it live, where you can touch the people and interact with them.

I'm not giving up my history and what I've done in my music because I love it and I'm very proud of it. I just want to open it up for more people.

I just like to do different things. What is more important than the name is that people know that I really like acting, I enjoy it and I want people to know that I am serious.
