Q-Tip

The song, 'Life is Better,' is about hip-hop. It's about my love for hip-hop. And, you know, I go through all the artists from the beginning to the end, you know. And, well, not to the end, but since the beginning to now, you know.

That kid is remarkable. He's going to give people fits. I really think he is a dynamic quarterback. He can throw really well on the run, and that's their game.

We wanted to blitz them, but we could never get them to third down.

Young women... you are, in my opinion, disgracefully ignorant. You have never made a discovery of any sort of importance. You have never shaken an empire or led an army into battle.
