The blacks want always Democrats … You know it’s like the plan they did, to take the fathers out the home and put them on welfare … Does anybody know about that? That’s a Democratic plan.

Look in my eyes right now – you see no sunken place.

There is nothing more stuntastic than rapping in front of an orchestra.

One of the reasons why I think that me and Kim are very powerful together isn’t just the concept of celebrity or this mega rap star and this mega-beautiful pop star. It’s something I explain to my girl: She is who she is. I am who I am. We have advisers and friends and everything, but those people are who they are and we are who we are. And what I had to learn from Kim is how to take more of her advice and less of other people’s advice. There’s a lot of Kim K skills that were added. In order to win at life, you need some Kim K skills, period.

If today I can practice a sport, and move around 90% of the time without a cane, it’s because of the love and support of my producers, record labels and above all my audience who have always believed in me. Otherwise I wouldn’t have made much more progress than I did in the hospital.

Sad hurts but it’s a healthy feeling. It is a necessary thing to feel. Depression is very different.

HIV infection and AIDS is growing – but so too is public apathy. We have already lost too many friends and colleagues.

That is all I want in life: for this pain to seem purposeful.

At the root of this dilemma is the way we view mental health in this country. Whether an illness affects your heart, your leg or your brain, it’s still an illness, and there should be no distraction.

Need a whole new syntax for fatigue on days like this.

Exercise is labor without weariness.

If you said you had homosexual tendencies they sent you to a psychiatrist.
