The Only Two Things That Scare Me

I Can Take A Three-year-old And Make A Hit Record With Him.

And Even When I Was Close To Defeat, I Rose To My Feet.

I'm Expressin' With My Full Capabilities, And Now I'm Livin In Correctional Facilities. Cause Some Don't Agree With How I Do This, I Get Straight And Meditate Like A Buddhist.

When I Think Of The Future, I Think A Lot Of Quincy Jones And How He Is An Inspiration. Look At The Quality Of His Work Over So Many Years. He Didn't Even Make His Best Record, 'thriller,' Until He Was 50. That Gives Me Something To Look Forward To. Nothing Pulls You Back Into The Studio More Than The Belief That Your Best Record Is Still Ahead.

It Ain't That I'm Too Big To Listen To The Rumors, It's Just That I'm Too Damn Big To Pay Attention To 'em.
