• I can’t hang out as loosely as I used to, but I can still go down Jefferson Avenue and look in the faces of winos, pimps, and junkies—all the things I’m made of.
• Now is my time. Everything I’ve done up to this point is just a warm-up. This is where it all begins.
• I love marijuana, Mary Jane, and you can print that! I smoke it every day, and it’s the greatest thing since ice cream, and I’m not afraid to say it.
• I wrote and produced millions and millions of selling records, so my publishing company alone was worth millions of dollars. I didn’t have to work anymore in life because when the rappers started sampling, I’m the most sampled artist in history.
