Snoop Dogg

When I’m no longer rapping I want to open up an ice-cream parlor and call myself Scoop Dogg.

Sometimes if you’re lucky, someone comes into your life who’ll take up a place in your heart that no one else can fill, someone who’s tighter than a twin, more with you than your own shadow, who gets deeper under your skin than your own blood and bones

Love gets unappreciated a lot of times, but you still gotta keep giving it

I want to be loved while I’m here, and the only way to get love is to give love.

Life is about growing and evolving. I feel like my life has been in stages, and the stages I went through when I was younger allowed me to grow into the man I am today.

You might not have a car or a big gold chain, stay true to yourself and things will change

I do think things were meant to happen. I’m just this little girl from Tennessee, and here I am today. I think a lot of things are just out of your hands.

I think women dress for other women to let them know what their deal is. Because if women were only dressing for men, there would be nothing but Victoria’s Secret. There would be no Dior.

Be sure it’s true when you say I love you. It’s a sin to tell a lie. Millions of heart have been broken. Just because these words were spoken.

[on acting] Sometimes I think, ‘To hell with acting’ and then I realize I could be working at a shoe shop. Acting is much cooler.

I get more people approaching me about how good I was in ‘Napoleon Dynamite’ than being in Coldplay.

So I’m you, I’m us, it’s us. It went from Kanye, which means the only one, to just Ye – just being a reflection of our good, our bad, our confused, everything. The album is more of a reflection of who we are.

It’s the 2016 election, and it’s 2015 right now. So I don’t care until we’re in the same year as the thing that I’m supposed to care about.

I like to crack the jokes now and again, but it’s only because I struggle with math.

Love should be an inspiration, not an obligation.

Whatever the problem, be part of the solution. Don’t just sit around raising questions and pointing out obstacles.

I have just been saying whatever the f**k I want. That’s always a breath of fresh air… everyone is so filtered these days. I’m just back to being reckless and being a Southside, Jamaica, Queens, New York rapper

Ever since the Taylor Swift moment, it’s never been the same – the connection with radio.

In the past, I had workaholic issues.

We’ll probably end up doing a terrible crossover, where the Matthew Perry character on the drama rapes my character on the comedy-and then the ‘Law & Order’ team solves the crime.

You don’t just decide to destroy a person by making up stuff, and no one at ‘SNL’ is writing to go after someone.
