I don't really mind what people say about my love life or anything like that, but the one thing is that, yes, I do sing and write all my own music. That is something that I hold really dear.

Basically, I like to pick up my flute, which is a pretty instrument, and play pretty on it.
If the United States has to accept the U.N. resolutions, we have to generalize it across the board. We can't just pick and choose where we impose and accept the U.N. resolution and don't accept them.

Say there's a white kid who lives in a nice home, goes to an all-white school, and is pretty much having everything handed to him on a platter - for him to pick up a rap tape is incredible to me, because what that's saying is that he's living a fantasy life of rebellion.

It's best not to think about winning or losing trades anyway, because the best ones work out for both teams.

Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction.
