Me and Master P go way back.

It's nice to have video play, radio play but as long as I can work my virals on the Internet, or yet get it out to where people hear it and can see it anytime, I'm cool.

When I was in the marching band, I used to take my snare drum and turn it over and use my drumstick and scratch on the other side. That was just being creative.

As you get older, you start trying to eat a little bit better, and just do a little better.

I'll rock with anyone - vintage rappers, young dudes, anyone.

Music is very therapeutic and healing, and I hit it from all angles.

I make up many words but we can go on for forever about slang words that E-40 created. That has always been one of my things since was youngster. I have always being creative with my words.

You know, Tupac would go into the studio and make like six or seven songs in one day. That's how he operated. He was real quick with his pen.

As long as I've got my life, health and strength, and I'm in my right mind? I'mma get money.

I'm the first rapper ever popping his collar.

The West ain't been the same without 'Pac.

I'm not boasting or nothing but a lot of people have a lot of love for me. I'm a legend, but I stay H and H, hungry and humble.

I'm the most humblest guy you can ever talk to or meet.

I love mayonnaise, but mustard is a must when you're doing the Impossible Burger.

I'm glad I'm setting an example for the younger generation so in the future they can say, 'Look how long E-40's rap career was. Look how long he stayed relevant.'

It's like with me, I feel like I was never one of those rappers that, you know, stayed in one time warp.

When I had my house in '96, I had a Warriors basketball court built.

I think the Internet is right on time. I think it's very important. It's reaching out to millions of people. Even the most slimiest and grimiest hood cats out got iPhones and Smartphones so they're able to view everything on the Internet, so they're well in tuned to what's going on.

I just respect people and mind my business. I don't got time to worry about what the next man's pockets are looking like, I gotta worry about what mine are looking like and my family.

I didn't invent the word 'hyphy' and I'm not trying to say I'm the king of hyphy.

I looked up to Too Short before I was making my own music.

I used to love Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel, and the Human League.

It's always a dream come true to do music with your pops. And your son.

Rick Barry always amazed me - he was one of the best free-throw shooters of all time, and he used to throw it underhand.

I've been rapping on some crunk beats and getting down on the South music for years. I feel like I can do it all.

I did a double CD, 'The Element of Surprise,' in 1998. That album went gold.

Ebonics is me. I'm the king of slang, hands down.

Before me, there was no offbeat flow.

I just love sports.

However God had it planned, I'm rockin' with how he do it. He took the steering wheel and I'm letting him drive.

In the early '90s, Too Short was like one of the first dudes who kinda discovered Lil Jon. So I always used to see him at concerts and we'd pow wow - a good dude, you know?

Slang is really coded talk. I can say a few things, in front of somebody, that only people who know what I'm saying are going to pick up on.

I'm living proof that there's no age limit to rapping.

I'm what they call an intelligent hoodlum.

I respect cats that can rap and everything, but the artist that inspires me is Turf Talk.

What motivates me is true talent, it's golden when talent acknowledge talent.

I would like to work with Dr. Dre.

I love funk! That's the music I grew up on.

I had a song back in 1992 talking about 'It's all good.' Then my partner Theo who used to work for 92.3 The Beat in L.A. started saying 'You know it's all good' on the radio and everybody took it back to their soils like that was the new Cali word. But that's a regular word form the Bay Area.

Music is really a medicine, it can make you feel good.

I always stay humble. I don't act funny towards nobody.

I'm always giving life lessons in my music.

I started playing drums in the 4th grade.

I got a solid fan base and they love me and I love them. They know I'ma give them what they want to hear.

I've got songs that'll make a gangster cry.

You feel me' - that's straight from me. You can put a stamp on that.

I feel like this - everybody, every rapper to me, I feel like every rapper got a little bit of E-40 in them, whether they know it or not.

When I was little, seven or eight years old, in third and fourth grade, I would always try to use long words and stuff.

I'm not a full-fledged producer, but I can be one if I want to really spend my time on straight being a producer.

I feel like I'm a voice of hope.
