Sometimes you gotta just chill. You gotta chill your thinking process.

I went to the mosque one day, and it came to me, like, 'This is where I belong.'
'The W' was real dark to me. Out of all the Wu-Tang albums, I like the first one and the second one. When 'The W' came into play, and the other ones, I felt they were just thrown together fast. Everyone got their money, and it was just like, 'Whatever, whatever, whatever.' 'The W' was a real dark album.
I'm funny with food, even if it's vegan. I like it well well, well, well done. I don't want anything there that reminds me of blood. I get mine extra well done. That way, when I look at it, I'm like, 'Okay, cool.'
I want to see myself as being the king of this: the king of music, man, and everything I lay my hands on.

Everything you see is not always real.
That's what I do: I drop albums, and I just keep it moving.
I listen to old music, man.
When Slick Rick first hit the scene, I had to practice that British accent. There's no other storyteller like this man.
I can't knock gay rap, or retarded rap - whatever. Do what you do; I don't really listen to it. I don't really pay that no attention. Like I said, it's not my cup of tea - to each his own. At the end of the day, we all people.
In all seriousness, I just think, 'Keep God first.'
I am a huge fan of R&B. I love R. Kelly and want to be the person every chick gets with, and 'Ghostdini' is one of the best albums I ever did.
I wanna rhyme about God.
I wasn't really a deep-rooted comic-book dude.
Love always overcomes hate.
God is real. You have a lot of prophets, angels; everything is real, you know. You know me - I'm a deep person, so my mind goes really, really deep.
I love cheese, and I love onions, pickles, and crunchy things. That's as far as I go with having things crunchy on my burger. I wouldn't go as far as having carrots on my burger. I'll just keep it simple with pickles and cucumbers and some raw onions.
I wanna do a God album, a positive album so the kids and everybody will understand what's going on.

As long as you respect me, I'm a respect you.
I like Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle. I would love to do songs with them.
You gotta know when it's your time. You might wake up one day like, 'Damn, I just feel good,' but you've been feeling like that for a whole month. That's your season.
I made 'Supreme Clientele' what it is. Those are my stories, based around whatever they're based upon. It's me.
If you ask me, I think it should be an eye for an eye. On everything.
