Ludacris

“I've always had an affinity and a passion for cars and that whole car culture.”

“Anytime I shoot a video, I just think of anything I can do to set myself apart from everybody in the music industry.”

“Your fans, they count on you to make wise decisions and wise choices. That's why they're your fan base. If you continually let them down, they're going to go find someone else to be fans of.”

“But it's a blessing to be so successful within a year; it's the greatest feeling in the world, making money and doing the things that I'm doing, and I definitely trying to continue doing what I'm doing.”

“I love technology. We can be our own DJs wherever we go.”

“I'm a perfectionist, so I always feel there's room for improvement.”

“I made my first complete song when I was 9.”

“It don't take a lot to make me happy. I'm not spoiled like that.”

“I love everything from old-school cars to whatever the latest muscle or luxury vehicles are.”

“I really love when people come up to me on the street and say, 'You're my favorite rapper.'”

“I'm one of those people that just likes to be comfortable.”

“I think every album you have to stretch further and further, give people another piece of you. But then I always try to deviate from the norm.”

“I'm just basically spillin' out my emotions to the world. 'Cause rap is about emotion. And I want you to feel what I'm feelin', 'cause that's what it's all about.”

“Working through experience is best for me, just being there and trying to get into the mode.”

“I don't want to be too over-exposed, but then at the same time I don't want to be too out-of-sight-out-of-mind.”

“I find myself eating different kinds of chicken each and every day, even if it's by surprise.”

“You don't have that many women in the industry so the lane is wide open.”

“Of course I have bills to pay, but at the same time, it's more about the passion and the love, and I think that's where music should come from, the heart, not necessarily just to cash a check.”

“No matter how much money I ever get, I'm going to want to provide for my family and never have to go back to really struggling. You don't ever want to go outside, you don't ever want to be left in the cold. You want to be safe.”

“I'm going to continue to keep music number one.”
