As a black man, my hope is that I can touch more and more people all over the world of different races and different colours.

At fourteen, I started sending out demo tapes.

Do what you love; you'll be better at it. It sounds pretty simple, but you'd be surprised how many people don't get this one right away.

Dreams don't have deadlines. I'm thinking of doing bigger and better things and having more fun with it.

Hip-hop can be limiting and I refuse to accept limits.
LL Cool J

Hip-hop's always reached out to kids. If you look at the last 10 big albums it might seem ironic. But when I look at the history of this music it's always had a lot of positivity.

I am a real person that cares about his art and cares about what he's doing - I have a heart and a soul and want to touch people and give.
LL Cool J

I am artistic so I reserve the right to change my mind at any point. I just like to do different things. What is more important than the name is that people know that I really like acting, I enjoy it and I want people to know that I am serious.
LL Cool J

I am what I am, I'm doing very well in my life, and I'm thankful to God for that.
LL Cool J

I don't think you should go around talking trash about people because I think that's how you get your hat handed to you.

I don't wanna abandon my identity as LL Cool J, but at the same time, I had to figure out how to let people know that I'm really serious about making these movies.

I feel like my peers now are artists like Madonna and the Stones, Michael Jackson and Prince. These are people who were able to take their careers beyond the normal here-today-gone-tomorrow life span.

I just look at the high and bright side of things.
LL Cool J

I only do what comes from the heart.
LL Cool J

I think fitness is important. I think a healthy lifestyle is important. I think putting positive energy out there is important and just staying connected with the people.
LL Cool J

I think I'm the best, of course. How could I not?
LL Cool J

I think that politics could be a positive thing. My beef is that people focus on the personal aspect of a politician too much. They should focus on the results.
LL Cool J

I think the guy who has had the better films is Will Smith. I don't know if he's a better actor than me. I don't think so. I am a rapper first. Man, I just love what I do. I am just the greatest and I can't help it. I'm sorry man.
LL Cool J

I think when you move past your fear and you go after your dreams wholeheartedly, you become free.
