I make hit records. I make hit records to motivate the people.

It feels like Gangstarr is the purest group in hip-hop. They was shooting videos on the beach in the winter when the water was ice. Razor-blade music.

I love to eat. If I could eat everything in the world and still be healthy or wouldn't catch a heart attack or stroke, I'd eat everything. I just can't. So I got to watch my health and take care of my family.

I don't rate Heat fans like I rate Knicks fans. We are true basketball fans. No matter what - rain, sleet or snow, or even if we don't make it to the playoffs for 10 years - the Garden stands are still full.

I think I weighed about 450/460 at my heaviest. That's huge! That's Fat Joe. And you know, I always took pride in being fat.

After the success of my first album and the success of 'Flow Joe' kind of faded, I was struggling to make some money and make ends meet.

I'm trying to work, be diverse and multi-talented.

For artists, the majority of the money we make comes from us being on the road and touring.

Culturally, the arts of Puerto Rico is really unmatched by any other island.

I'm trying to get in where I fit in and take it to the next level.

I love owning my masters.

There's no such thing as too much. If there's too much, then that's a great thing.

The biggest misconception in the hip-hop industry is that people are only focused on the money. We should just be happy for everybody that is working in the hip-hop culture.

Chances are if I am the one to cosign people, they will become a big part of the industry.

Whenever I come out with a hit record, they'll say, 'Ah, that's because of R. Kelly. Oh, it's because of Ashanti. Oh, he's lucky.'

I love the quality of TIDAL. I appreciate what they're trying to do and what they're trying to accomplish.

Mister Cee's a legend, man.

Being that I always perform, I started working out with a trainer to get that endurance and stamina. Now, I guess you could call me a gym rat.

Donald Trump, you already know. We can't have that guy in office.

I was at a party New Year's Eve, and - no lie - at least 10 different people came up to me. One guy was like, 'I lost 30 pounds because of you.' So people just coming up to me. I don't know these people - random people.

Hector Lavoe is the greatest of all time. Marc Anthony is the second greatest.

All I know is stars and hits, you know what I mean? I don't just sign a guy because he has a hot record. I sign a guy because he's a star. He's a pillar of the community.

The formula for a hit is saying what people want to hear.

Latinos been a part of hip-hop culture and every other culture; we've been influential in every aspect of life.

I make hits.

There's millions of gay people in the world. In 2011, you've got to hide that you're gay? Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, be real.

It feels like we all win when Joe wins. People know the struggle, everything I had to overcome. People feel like that's them winning. If Joe could do it, they could do it.

We go after legacies because we just know that, sooner or later, people will understand what we bring to this culture and bring to the game.

There's two systems of health care: the one for the rich that's really good, then there's the one for the inner city, where they leave ladies in the emergency room unattended for 24 hours until they drop dead.

I would love to coach. I'm not saying I'm qualified to do it in the N.B.A., but I would love to try.

Who you know, 10 albums later, get better than he's ever been before? It's hard. To come from all this huge success like a 'What's Love,' and a 'Lean Back,' then take it back to the street with 'The Darkside.'

Minorities have been hustling backwards from check to check.

J. R. Smith's incredible, man, just incredible off the bench.

See, me, I don't run away. During my successes or my failures, I put it on me.

The 'hood don't really wanna hear it, but you need brown rice, you need wheat bread, stuff like that.

I wish we had more diversity.

Comfort and simplicity are two keys that I follow when it comes to fashion.

I am diabetic. So diet control is a pre-given for me.

I was born in Karachi, where my father used to work in the sales department of a pharmaceutical company. The nature of his job required him to travel, so we moved to Athens, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Riyadh and then went to Manchester during the Gulf War, moving back to Lahore closer to my father's retirement.

If one wants to take a stand on something, one must be very educated about it.

I read the 'Kapoor & Sons' script in a half hour, forty five minutes. Not because I skimming through it... I read it like a book. By the end, I was blown away. I picked up the phone and said, 'This script is gold.'

I'm a quiet person. It's only when I am cued to talk that I talk. Otherwise, I'm reserved and a bit of a recluse.

Everyone has different interests, but instead of constructive learning, people generally tend to lean towards the negative... and I think social media has somehow given fuel to this kind of thinking.

The motto of my life is, 'The best advice is no advice at all.'

I have done films only because my roles were good in them. It has got nothing to do with being associated with any particular camp.

Fans are half of an artiste... without someone to appreciate him, an artiste is nothing.

My father is pretty much a self-made man, and I am proud of that. He was born in Patiala and crossed the border from India to Pakistan when he was four.

My wife is not insecure at all. She is one of the most sensible persons I know.

I was an angry young man, a rebel without a cause, and I channeled my emotions into my music.

I've adopted a diet that minimises high glycemic index carbs, coupled with lean protein sources and a mix of vegetables.
