Anything you can suck at should make you nervous.
Only dumb people try to impress smart people. Smart people just do what they do.
Only a woman can make you feel wrong for doing something right.
I always say there’s no more little girls, just boys with breasts. Girls act like boys nowadays. Teenage girls, they go after boys. They’re predatory just like boys. My goal is to keep my girls, girls.
Music is the soundtrack to the crappy movie that is my life.
America is the only place where people go hunting on a full stomach.
It’s my real name. My mother’s name is Rose Rock. It was the worst name as a kid to have. They called me Piece of the Rock, Plymouth Rock, Joe Rockid, and Flintstones. Now they call me Mister Rock.

When you’ve been on a ghetto diet your entire life, you’re just happy to get a large soda instead of a medium.

There’s a difference between racism and “I don’t know any better. I’m clueless.” Racism is like, “I’m trying to make you feel bad.” That’s racism.
Learn how to cook. Read books that will educate you. Get an education. Get a career. And support yourself. And live in a section of town that isn’t conducive to violence.
