My goal after 9/11 was to take care of the families of the people we lost, and that was the most important thing.

The World Trade Center was the target for the world, and they hit the target.

New York is a spectacular place, and those who are jealous of the way we live our lives are always going to, you know, to strike out, and, you know, we're always going to be a target, sadly. London is going to be a target. You know, anywhere in the West, you're a target.

Without parents, you sort of lose the gravity that keeps your feet on the earth.

Rappers are the white authors of our generation. They know me, my language, my codes, my family, my block.

I know there's more to life than making lots of money and being successful and even getting married and having a family.

It's one-of-a-kind, because some people would die to have the family I do.

My family can tell you I'm not really a guy that likes roller coasters. I don't like going on Ferris wheels. I've got a six-feet rule; I like my feet no more than five, six feet from the ground at all times.
