I was like the class clown in school so I guess I would say I did like the attention. In church I did a lot of plays, my mother made me play characters, do a lot of drama and acting, trying to become someone else. So it helped me create who I am, to create Snoop Dogg.

If it's flipping hamburgers at McDonald's, be the best hamburger flipper in the world. Whatever it is you do you have to master your craft.

Snoop Dogg

If you stop at general math, you're only going to make general math money.

When I'm not longer rapping, I want to open up an ice cream parlor and call myself Scoop Dogg.

Snoop Dogg

You've got to always go back in time if you want to move forward.

Snoop Dogg

If the ride is more fly, then you must buy.

Snoop Dogg

Sometimes a loss is the best thing that can happen. It teaches you what you should have done next time.

Snoop Dogg

Well, hip-hop is what makes the world go around.

Snoop Dogg

What people don't understand is joining a gang ain't bad, it's cool, it's fine. When you in the hood, joining a gang it's cool because all your friends are in the gang, all your family's in the gang. We're not just killing people every night, we're just hanging out, having a good time.

Snoop Dogg

It's so easy for a kid to join a gang, to do drugs... we should make it that easy to be involved in football and academics.

Snoop Dogg

Women are in a position now to voice their opinion... women are getting empowered. The more power they get, the more voice they get to shift certain things around. Now I have a daughter, I understand. When I didn't have a daughter, I didn't understand.

Snoop Dogg

I just change with the times. I really don't have a say in what's going on. Music was here before me.

Snoop Dogg

When I heard the royal family wanted to have me perform in celebration of Prince William's marriage, I knew I had to give them a little something. 'Wet' is the perfect anthem for Prince William or any playa to get the club smokin'.

Snoop Dogg

It's hard to say goodbye to the streets. It's all how you do it. You can pass by and say, 'What's happening?' and keep it moving, but it's a certain element that'll never be able to roll with you once you get to this level, because that's the separation of it all.

Snoop Dogg

I'm looking for a deal from one of you TV networks to give Snoop Dogg his own hood TV show where I can find America's hottest hood artists.

Snoop Dogg

That's how we do it in the black community; we give back to the people who made us who we are. We never forget that.

Snoop Dogg

I love Benny Hill. He one of my favourites of aaall time. Like, the way Benny did it, he was just amazing. Just seeing how he put songs together and comedy and the timing and the sketches. He was way ahead of his time.

Snoop Dogg

I used to be focused on being the dopest rapper in the game, and then once that became what I was, I wanted something different, and I wanted to become the best businessman in the game. I wanted to learn how to master the business like I mastered the rap.

Snoop Dogg

To me, the Seventies were very inspirational and very influential... With my whole persona as Snoop Dogg, as a person, as a rapper. I just love the Seventies style, the way all the players dressed nice, you know, kept their hair looking good, drove sharp cars and they talked real slick.

Snoop Dogg

Snoop Scorsese, that's my director name.

Snoop Dogg

Look at music for what it's worth around the world and not just America. In other countries, people are still buying CDs and going to record stores. But in America, it's all about digital. The game is breaking down. But, look at me, you need to know how to play the game the right way.
