Thug Life to me is dead.

Of course I'm going to say 'I'm a thug,' that's because I came from the gutter and I'm still here!

What I learned in jail is that I can't change. I can't live a different lifestyle - this is it. This is the life that they gave and this is the life that I made.

I'm a flamboyant person. I like to live life. I certainly work hard for it, and I want to have a good time. Don't deny me that. It might not come again and I want to enjoy myself a little.

I like solitude. I like the anomalous life. I like a quiet life.

I don't see myself in terms of artifice. I see myself as a real person who chooses to live my life in an open way - artistically.
