50 Cent

What cha saying boy, you think Im playing boy, watch ya mouth girl, its a mans world.

I’m the type to swallow my blood ‘fore I swallow my pride.

I don’t display emotions. I have every feeling that everyone else has but I’ve developed ways to suppress them. Anger is one of my most comfortable feelings.

That’s when I realized that as long as you don’t broadcast your beefs, you can get away cold with murder. It’s even better if you don’t allow the beef to take place. If someone disrespects you, you can know in your heard that you’re going to get him, but you don’t have to show him there’s a beef. You can just look at it like, Okay, this nigga must not know. And then you fall back and you put it down.

A lot of kids join the army to get a college education. That’s why they do it, and they get sent into these horrible situations.

A man becomes as attractive as an attractive woman when he becomes successful and is publicly noted. Power’s an aphrodisiac.

You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us. And the world will live as one.

The girly movie I secretly love is Pippy Longstockings.

Everyone asks me about being so worried or thinking about existence as if I’m the only person who can’t understand why a tree grows the way it does or why a person is in power when they’re not that great. These are questions everyone has.

Obviously, [Hollywood is lacking] stories from women of color. If you talk about areas of the industry that are underrepresented, that is an area that the whole industry could stand with getting better at.

I call it fan fatigue. I went to see Bob Dylan last year, who I think is absolutely incredible, but he suffers from his audience.

And you know, life is a constant learning experience. I learn so much with my kids. I read tons of books and study what they’re studying.

I hope we left you with something to put under your pillow.

For me, singing sad songs often has a way of healing a situation. It gets the hurt out in the open into the light, out of the darkness.

[on Anthony Weiner] I remember him now… the man whose name is so perfect for the scandal he was caught up in that it rekindled my faith in God.

I couldn’t stand that my husband was being unfaithful. I am Raquel Welch – understand?

That is quite difficult. In the book and also my first introduction of the script is like “an absurdly handsome 17-year-old” and it kind of puts you off a little bit, when you’re trying to act, and you’re trying to get good angles to look good looking and stuff.

I love artists who take risks-I think they inspire everybody else about horrible situations that no one wants to discuss.

My mum and my dad are the sweetest couple.

Sometimes people expect that I’m going to be tough. It’s not a bad situation. People treat you better. People are on time.

You know my heart couldn’t take it.
