Flavor Flav

“I got a way to get through to kids. I try to take that and use that to my advantage. If we work on the kids right now, I'm telling you, they'll be making less mistakes, the jails will be gettin' less full. It's all about what we do with the kids.”

“I grew up playing about 15 instruments and the way that I was able to accomplish that was by cutting my classes, hanging out in the band room all day, and going from one instrument to the next to the next, until I learned how to play everything by ear.”

“Queen Latifah used to help me out with my kids, because while we were all out on tour - Public Enemy, Naughty By Nature, Queen Latifah, Heavy D - when Public Enemy went onstage, I didn't have anybody solid to watch my kids. So, Latifah would help me out.”

“I remember rap music. We used to party and dance off of it. Today it's all about a whole different angle... Rappers are going against each other, and it's more of a bragging, boasting thing.”

“If anyone wants to know what the definition of 'dope' means, it's: 'Definition of Public Enemy.'”

“Your man Flavor Flav is living!”

“Hip-hop is when you have crowd participation; when you chant at the audience and they chant back at you; when you wave your hands in the air like you just don't care; or some breakdancing. Everything today is just low-beat, real bass-y, bass-y, good rap records.”

“Remember the diner in 'Happy Days?' I do want to do a show like that. But an updated version.”

“I just want to show the world it's never too late to get your diploma, and show kids they should stay in school and not wait until you're old to get it.”

“If I do look back, I'll say that I'm blessed. I'm blessed, and I appreciate God for not only letting me live through everything, but to prosper.”

“I know I have a hit show on my hands.”

“I'm a real big celebrity. I'm this megastar.”

“I try and spend a lot of time with my kids. I try and have fun with my kids. I try to put father time in there.”

“Definitely, I think I'm a life coach for real. The lessons I give are lessons you can take to the bank.”

“I set our house on fire when I was a little child playing with lighters. Boy, did I burn the place down!”

“My chicken ain't no joke. I ain't scared to go up against the Colonel, tastewise.”

“Doing scripted acting is a challenge to me. I can't remember things too good, so remembering lines is a challenge to your boy.”

“What I'm trying to do is put back into rap music what's missing - which is the good part, the fun part, that party part.”

“I'll tell you one thing you can't do: you can't put your shoes on, then your socks on.”

“I got a lot happening, a whole lot, and it's not always easy being me.”
