Zitat des Tages von Nelly:
How many people out there really set a budget?
I believe everything happens for a reason.
I won an MVP trophy with the St. Louis Amateur Baseball Association. I didn't even start. I was a sub on this team. This was, like, an All-Star game where we had athletes from different teams, different mixtures. We had, like, the only black team in the league, basically. We had four players go to the All-Star game.
Rappers make what's in, in. If we want to bring back something like Jordache, we just say it and the girls start wearing it. We have a lot of pull.
You always get that energy, you just want to be heard, to go out, do your thing and show people that we have just as much talent here as everywhere else.
I probably only cried five or six times in my life and I think four of those times was from my daddy kicking my butt.
I don't believe in luck. I believe everything happens for a reason.
The fashion world has been great. We started Apple Bottoms about seven years ago; it's interesting to be able to create something from your perspective, for your fans and support. It's a little different for me, because about 70% of my fans are females.
I'm not a big crier.
So many people appreciate what you've done, the doors you've opened, but some people realise they're not going to be able to make as much money as they thought possible when you first started.
If we don't heal our own hood, who will?
I don't believe in luck.
You never know until a song comes out and becomes what it becomes, obviously you can't predict how the masses will react.
I try not to name too many labels - not because it's not cool, but because it starts getting political.
I guess coming after 'Country Grammar' and everybody thinking, 'Well maybe, that was it.' To come back with something like 'Nellyville' and to have people accept it and appreciate it the way they did, that was a great move.
To get the Nickelodeon award? That's like 'it.' It's one of the best. It's definitely where you want to be in your career.
