Curtis Jackson

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.

I'm not trying to save the world. As a musician and artist, it just ain't me.

I wanted to do something as an extension of my passion for music. My aim for the STREET by 50 On-Ear Wired Headphone range is to present music as it's meant to be heard, in studio-mastered sound.

Obama is for same-sex marriage. If the president is saying that, then who am I to go the other way?

When you've been in life-threatening situations, you become aware that life is not for ever.

My new music video, 'My Life' featuring Eminem and Adam Levine, the only person in the actual video who you can physically make out besides myself and Adam Levine is Andre Dirrell.

Puffy's contribution to hip-hop culture was the remix. He offered us the music that his mom played in front of him, with newer drums and younger artists. That worked, and will consistently be there.

I think Sean Parker damaged the music business with Napster.
