It is always great working with friends.

I have been getting some offers of films. But more than films, I have been getting offers for serials which I have obviously declined.

I'm not finding fault or blaming the industry, but the heroes have always dominated the film industry.

I love dogs and cats.

I'm not into cliches like 'no time' for love. If I find the right person, I'll definitely find time.

I did some glamorous roles and even wore a bikini in the Telugu film 'Drona,' but the audience was aghast. Some said, 'Please don't ever wear a bikini again!'

The Malayalam industry is down to earth and instantly recognizes talent.

I think women have the natural ability to do multi-tasking.

I started down South, that's where my heart is. But I'm open to exploring Bollywood.

Post 'Chennai Express,' I got several offers from Hindi cinema, but nothing substantial came my way.

'Chandi' was received well and my performance was particularly appreciated.

I'm always afraid to act when I don't know the language and it perturbs me during my dubbing sessions too.

I'm not willing to do heroine-centric films back-to-back.

Somewhere down the line, I want to do masala films too.

There's nothing wrong in sporting a bikini. If the director wants to shoot you in a pool, you cannot be wearing denims or a saree - you need to be dressed accordingly to the situation.

Sometimes in the mainstream movies, a character who is from the South is portrayed by a person who looks like a South Indian but speaks in fake accent.

I just love his creativity; that's what I'm talking about as far as being unique and creative and different. Kanye is doing it.

That's probably the key to our success and our longevity, sticking to our formula and what we do best, the hardcore Mobb Deep sound, rather than chasing trains. But we're always experimenting with the art and the creativity of hip-hop.

In the beginning, we might have been focused on totally just music and being famous, just wanting to have fame and make hot music, but as we got older, we had to understand that this is a business and that our moves need to be calculated.

Hip-hop basically controls the world through fashion, through music, through language, through culture. It's basically running the world, no matter what anyone wants to think, and that's just the way it is.

'Dragon's Lair' was real ill.

It took me a while to like Wu-Tang's style.

Music and physical activity goes hand in hand. Music and basketball, man.

I can't front: I like Kanye.

We didn't have any problem with 2Pac. We liked his music.

I always make hardcore songs, hits for the block.

I'm a creative person, and I'm gonna be creative, so whoever's upset because of that, that's too bad.

When we were making 'Juvenile Hell,' we were listening to the Jungle Brothers, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Biz Markie, A Tribe Called Quest.

I read certain things about history. I don't like fiction. I read about stuff that's real, stuff that's goin' on in the world.

I've learned to respect Rick Ross' music.

I found that preparation is everything when you cook.

At 19, I felt like I was 40.

We started writing songs like 'Shook Ones' and 'Survival of the Fittest' explaining our neighborhood, but more our personal lives.

All the 'Scarface' beats that you hear Mobb Deep sample, that was my idea.

I like any shoot-'em-up game with guns in it.

You got a lot of fradulent rebels and revolutionaries who are really false prophets.

I used to be cold and emotionless. I believe the disease I was born with made me that way.

I was a very serious child who never got to enjoy life to the fullest like a normal, healthy kid.

When we signed to G-Unit, 50 made us sign the paper that says, 'You can't talk about nothing about me.' He makes everybody sign that.

I wanna like Obama, but he's all about the world government, world banking, war, and stuff like that. You know what I'm sayin'? He's a phony.

It was the camaraderie and the friendships, too, that really drew me to Queensbridge.

There isn't just one black experience out here.

Basically, I've always raised my kids that people learn from their mistakes, and every father wants their kids to be better than them.

Hip-hop music was our life.

I like a lot of the new artists, but there's only one I can name that stands out to me the most: Kendrick Lamar.

I don't like new people coming around me. I'm going to really be leery and watch you and take my time before I embrace you.

I make all types of music. People wanna put me in a little box, and they get mad when I don't stay in there.

The sickle-cell got me where doctors said I couldn't play sports, I couldn't overexert myself.

I been going to the hospital since I was born, about 10 times a year, for about a week or two each time.

When I first went in, I realized there's no green vegetables. They serve, like, spinach once every two weeks. The three meals they serve inmates every day is like slop.
