My future is righteousness.

If you're white and you're wrong, then you're wrong; if you're black and you're wrong, you're wrong. People are people. Black, blue, pink, green - God make no rules about color; only society make rules where my people suffer, and that why we must have redemption and redemption now.

God sent me on earth. He send me to do something, and nobody can stop me. If God want to stop me, then I stop. Man never can.

I don't stand for the black man's side, I don' t stand for the white man's side. I stand for God's side.

The devil ain't got no power over me. The devil come, and me shake hands with the devil. Devil have his part to play. Devil's a good friend, too... because when you don't know him, that's the time he can mosh you down.

Don't gain the world and lose your soul; wisdom is better than silver or gold.

Money can't buy life.

One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.

My music fights against the system that teaches to live and die.

My music will go on forever. Maybe it's a fool say that, but when me know facts me can say facts. My music will go on forever.

Everything is political. I will never be a politician or even think political. Me just deal with life and nature. That is the greatest thing to me.

Tell the children the truth.

If you get down and quarell everyday, you're saying prayers to the devil, I say.

Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?

Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!

You entertain people who are satisfied. Hungry people can't be entertained - or people who are afraid. You can't entertain a man who has no food.

I define friendship as a bond that transcends all barriers. When you are ready to expect anything and everything from friends, good, bad or ugly... that's what I call true friendship.

I am not a great fan of computers. I do watch videos and analyse which batsman is playing how. Batsmen can play different shots on different days. A batsman may not play cover drives well, but if he connects with two such shots, he starts playing the drive well on that day.

Let's face it: fitness is boring. But it's critical to be extremely dedicated to whatever you decide to take up to achieve a desired result. There's no way you are going to get there without dedication, which is the key for me.

I am proud to be a Sikh and am a true disciple of Guru Gobind Singh, who sacrificed his entire family for the Sikh religion.

It's very hard to find true friends when your life is a bumpy ride full of twists and turns. But, I'm glad that amidst all the ramblings in my life I have managed to win some great friends.

Cricket is my passion; it is my first love. So I will not act in my movies, as they will just be a side business for me.

I have entered the sports equipment business with 'Bhajji Sports.' I am applying for ICC clearance so that cricket bats with 'Bhajji Sports' logos could be used for international matches. In domestic circuit, the Punjab team is already wearing Bhajji Sports dresses for the Ranji Trophy matches.

A player dreams of being a superstar, but he doesn't want people flocking all over him asking for an autograph.

I don't trust what this life has given me.

I think marriage and athletes is a bad combination.

Fifty percent of life in the N.B.A. is sex. The other fifty percent is money.

There is so much hypocrisy in sports.

I'm nothing more than a sports slave.

This life is like a swimming pool. You dive into the water, but you can't see how deep it is.

A lot of the problems I had with fame I was bringing on myself. A lot of self-loathing, a lot of woe-is-me. Now I'm learning to see the positive side of things, instead of, like, 'I can't go to Kmart. I can't take my kids to the haunted house.'

Before I was famous, when I was just working in Gilbert's Lodge, everything was moving in slow motion.

I think my first album opened a lot of doors for me to push the freedom of speech to the limit.

I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There's no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it.

I was going to McDonald's and Taco Bell every day. The kids behind the counter knew me - it wouldn't even faze them. Or I'd sit up at Denny's or Big Boy and just eat by myself. It was sad. I got so heavy that people started to not recognize me.

Trust is hard to come by. That's why my circle is small and tight. I'm kind of funny about making new friends.

The details surrounding both my marriage and subsequent filing for divorce are private, and I had hoped to keep them that way for the sake of my family.

I'd go to, like, six different schools in one year. We were on welfare, and my mom never ever worked.

Sometimes I feel like rap music is almost the key to stopping racism.

If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as you keep working at it and don't back down.

I need drama in my life to keep making music.

I felt like I had a really bad case of writer's block... Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can't get it out, I start feeling bad about myself - a lot of self-loathing.

I don't think I've ever read poetry, ever.

Ultimately, who you choose to be in a relationship with and what you do in your bedroom is your business.

A lot of truth is said in jest.

The emotions in a song - the anger, aggression - have got to be legitimate.

You know, fame is a funny thing, man, especially, you know, actors, musicians, rappers, rock singers, it's kind of a lifestyle and it's easy to get caught up in it - you go to bars, you go to clubs, everyone's doing a certain thing... It's tough.

I don't even know how to speak up for myself, because I don't really have a father who would give me the confidence or advice. And if you're always the new kid, you never get a chance to adapt, so your confidence is just zilch.

I didn't have nothin' going for me... school, home... until I found something I loved, which was music, and that changed everything.

The truth is you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed.
