Bad news travels at the speed of light; good news travels like molasses.
If there's one thing I've learned in my life, it's that curiosity might kill cats, but it doesn't kill people.
I'm not getting any younger. You're not getting any younger, so yeah. You age.
When a child is born, it's born with a heart of gold, but the way of this world can turn that heart cold. I'm still a good person, and I thank God for that - He's working with me on it.
I'm human, I feel, I understand. That's the highest level of love, is understanding - when you can understand someone, when you can love them with their flaws and their faults. So I understand, I consider. I may speak the truth, but I'll consider your feelings, too.
People live too much of their lives on email or the Internet or text messages these days. We're losing all of our communication skills.

To me, politics is a pile of tricks.
Growing up in the ghetto is pretty hard. It's poverty; it's frustration.

And when I was angry, when I was younger, I was in a cocoon. Now I'm a beautiful, black butterfly.
You get somebody to crack a smile, that's a beautiful thing.

Everybody's out to get something from somebody. 'Gold diggers' doesn't just mean money, it can mean time, it can mean feelings. It can mean anything when you're taking and not giving. When people don't know how to reciprocate.
I do stand up sometimes out of anger. Sometimes the greatest stuff comes from a dark place.
I'm around my kids every day. I'm regular. We're a regular family. My wife cooks, she washes clothes, I read books, I pump my own gas, I get my own hair cut.
I'm a big, big movie fan. I watch 'The Ten Commandments' and the original 'Planet of the Apes' every night.
Anybody who's lived in the ghetto knows that you don't move during the daytime. Here's why: You don't want anyone to know you're leaving, and you don't want anyone knowing where you're going.
My older brother was born, who was a cripple, then I was born, and my sister was born, the only girl. So I was between the only girl and the crippled guy. I was the middle guy.
I have snakes, three sharks, moray eels, piranhas, five scorpions and a bird spider. All of them are predators. They are dangerous but it's cool to have strong and powerful pets.
