Rev. Run

“I'm a peaceful man.”

“I'm gonna be with Onyx, I'm gonna be with Snoop Dogg. They criticized Jesus for sitting down with the sinners. I don't need to be with the people that are healed. I need to be with the people that are sick.”

“A lot of groups have so many hits that it doesn't make sense to compete, to try and recreate what they had in their heyday.”

“I got my collar through going to church and being in church and doing what I was supposed to do. But at the end of the day, I wasn't supposed to open a church. That just wasn't my calling.”

“I enjoy being on the turntables with my partner in crime, DJ Ruckus.”

“I'm inspiring to many men because they don't know. Tyrese poses the question, 'How can I be a father if I've never had a father? How can I be a husband if I've never seen a husband in the house?' I think that watching and hearing from me can kind of fill the void of what men might need.”

“Often times we don't have answers. We put it in the 'I don't understand' file so you are not subject to questioning God too much. Because God is good anyway. You just gotta keep it moving and pray for strength and courage to go forward.”

“I'm not a Christian rapper. I'm a rapper that happens to be a Christian. You get a plumber and he's a Christian, he doesn't pull out a Bible to fix the sink. I'm not going to go tell people, 'Oh, you're going to hell if you don't be down with Jesus.' If I have to go in there with my hat backward and chilling like whatever.”

“Steven Tyler is a character.”

“The best thing you can do is think about your loved ones. That's the thing that motivates me the most. I want to be around and I don't want to let anybody down. Based on those feelings and emotions - they keep me on point. If you think about your loved ones, it'll motivate you.”

“I used to go to Baltimore every single year with my family. I used to say, 'Are we there yet?' for the whole trip. I loved it.”

“My father had diabetes, my father passed.”

“I'm happy that people respond to truth.”

“Basically we teach our kids thankfulness.”

“Money's my friend and I'm not gonna just throw her to anything.”

“I am still flattered every time I see a Run-D.M.C. t-shirt.”

“I like good music.”

“We used to go to Hawaii every year and loved it!”

“I don't want to come down and end up having diabetes. I want to talk to people about it and I want to take care of myself, and as I take care of myself, I want people to get the message and take care of themselves.”

“I just started going to church because I wanted to get my life organized. And first I became, like, an usher. In the Pentecostal church they have duties for you to do, different things, and I just - next thing you know, this collar was wrapped around my neck.”
