Ja Rule

“I went through a lot of phases and studied many religions. I am not into religion, I am spiritual.”

“I feel like unforgiveness, bitterness and resentment, it blocks the flows of God's blessings in life.”

“I'm an adrenaline guy. I like to do stuff that gets my blood pumping, like roller coasters or jumping out of planes. I'm into all that crazy stuff.”

“As far as rap goes, I grew up in Hollis, Queens, so early influences were people like Run DMC and LL Cool J.”

“I believe in God and not religion, because I believe religion is the double cross. Because I've been double crossed by three religions, so I think I can safely say that religion - there is maybe something wrong with religion. Every temple that's put up may not be a holy one, so watch out.”

“The rules, religion to religion that man set forth, made me shy away from religion and have my own one on one with God and cut out the middleman.”

“I stopped going to Kingdom Hall, the church, when I was 11 years old, so I was very young. They don't celebrate birthdays, you get no Christmas, so it's a very difficult religion for children to get into. And they do a lot of finger-pointing among the Jehovah's Witnesses.”

“Be very nervous of the shaky hands.”

“Acting was something I always wanted to try. I just didn't know how, or I didn't know when the door was gonna be open for me to try it. But it finally opened up for me when I did 'Turn It Up', and ever since then I've been in love with doing films.”

“I got a cold feeling toward religion in general. I don't think God would want to separate families.”

“It's always good to be working.”

“Galley Molina's a great inspiration and role model for a lot of young kids out there.”
