LL Cool J

“I think when you move past your fear and you go after your dreams wholeheartedly, you become free. Know what I'm saying? Move past the fear.”

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

“Stay focused, go after your dreams and keep moving toward your goals.”

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

“Art is about imagination. When you look at a picture from Salvador Dali, that's about imagination. When you look at Picasso, that's about imagination. Doing stuff from your heart.”

“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.”

“I am what I am, I'm doing very well in my life, and I'm thankful to God for that.”

“We need to make sure that there's art in the school. Why? Why should art be in the school? Because if art isn't in a school, then a guy like Steve Jobs doesn't get a chance to really express himself because in order for art to meet technology, you need art.”

“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'm not giving up my history and what I've done in my music because I love it and I'm very proud of it. I just want to open it up for more people.”

“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'm not trying to be new school and I'm not old school - I'm classic. There's a lot of new cars and there's a lot of old cars, but I'm just classic in doing what I do.”

“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.”

“You can't let your past hold your future hostage.”
